STORY OF THE WEEK | Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale
Ferrari hasn’t made a manual gearbox for 15 years. Now it’s brought one back. Sort of.
The new 12Cilindri Manuale has three pedals, an exposed gearshift gate and all the sensations of a traditional manual. There’s just one catch: underneath it all is an automatic gearbox.
So is this a cynical piece of engineering theatre, or one of Ferrari’s cleverest ideas in decades?
Andrew Frankel has driven it, and his verdict might surprise you.
Read his full review now on The Intercooler app or website.
‘I can’t help thinking I’d rather save £100,000 and buy a manual, rear-wheel drive GTS. Perhaps spend some of the savings on a PTS colour.’
@HenryCatchpole takes the limited edition Porsche 992 Sport Classic on an Austrian adventure.
Today from the Ti Library. ⬇️
Only 1250 examples of the Sport Classic were built. A modern classic in the making?

‘I’ve been running a pre-owned Polestar 2 and it’s been fabulous. So much so that I, like Sutcliffe, might ask how much it will cost to buy it.’
@richardaucock says the Polestar 2 is a smart entry into the world of EVs, with prices from just £12,000.

Polestar 2 or Tesla Model 3? For Richard, the Swedish car is the clear winner.

Is it more fun to drive a fast car slowly or a slow car quickly?
We’ve been putting the theory to the test, but we want to know what you think.
Which would you choose, and why?
‘What we’re looking at here is a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, manual supercar with proper old-fashioned steering and no ADAS bongifcation at all. Isn’t this the dream?’
@gezmedinger drives the first production-spec Noble M500.

An ‘artisan supercar’ for a fraction of the usual price? Walk this way…

Does not look like it would do 100 mph, seven-up, does it? But it did…
‘In many ways, the R16 prefigured Matra’s inspired one-box study that later became the Renault Espace.’
Ingenious, comfortable and fast, the Renault 16 had almost everything, yet it has been forgotten.
@David__Twohig asks why – exclusively today on The Intercooler. ⬇️

‘You can change gear fast, you can change gear slow, but whatever you do, it feels like the manual gearbox it so clearly is not.’
@Andrew_Frankel tests the 12Cilindri Manuale. How does this transmission work – and will it appear on other Ferraris?

This time, for @theintercoolerx, I challenged myself to share an opinion about the automotive world that I'm sure not everyone will agree with.
Your 'race car for the road' is not even remotely close... and that's a good thing!

‘Did any of this make the Huracán STO materially faster in the real world? Of course not. It’s pure theatre.’
@AlexBrundle says ‘a race car for the road’ is one of the most durable lines in marketing.
However, while it may have been true decades ago, it certainly isn’t now. ⬇️
We’re very pleased to say Ti is back up and running.
It turns out we were caught up in a nationwide outage, so we were far from alone.
Thank you so much for bearing with us, and apologies for the interruption.
Now, back to your reading!
