Ferrari’s Stunning GT Sports Car Is a Love Letter to Manual V12 Performance

In celebration of the brand’s long tradition of row-your-own gearboxes, Ferrari has created a version of the 12Cilindri called the ‘Manuale.’ As the name suggests, this means the Prancing Horse’s V12 luxe grand tourer adopts a gated H-pattern shifter. However, the car comes with a unique twist in that it’s also equipped with an 8-speed automatic and a DCT. As such, Ferrari’s Manuale physical hardware is essentially a highly immersive manual mode, providing electronic inputs to the first six gears via a clutch-by-wire experience. Like its standard 12Cilindri counterpart, the Manuale sports a sonorous 6.5-liter V12 under the hood, rated for 830 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Just 1,499 examples are slated for production.

Evoking the spirit of Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance, the KeyBoy Advance is a compact keyboard that you help build yourself. It sports a unique design, omitting the function row up top, along with some other traditional keys. Nevertheless, this unit emphasizes compactness over range. Since this is a barebones keyboard kit, the case, circuit board and mounting hardware are included (and fully customizable), but you’re required to purchase and plug in your own mechanical switches and keycaps to finish the build.

Gilda Radner was one of the founding members of SNL and is an absolute legend in the comedy world. She also sadly passed after a battle with ovarian cancer. To celebrate her life, legacy and the cancer support organization created in her honor, Gilda’s Club, Shinola has released a pair of stunning watches in the Gilda Radner Great American Watch collection. Both watches, a Runwell and a Runabout, feature gold cases and stunning red Jasper dials (with matching crown carbochons). However, while they clearly match one another, they also have their own unique character.

Ducati continues to invest in its Desmo range, which hits five models with this supermoto, unveiled at World Ducati Week in Misano over the weekend. Using its 100th birthday festivities to show off a prototype, Ducati says full specs and details will come in September. All the brand has revealed so far is that its first-ever racing Supermotard is purpose-built for the discipline with dedicated brakes, suspension, engine components and specific bodywork … and it’s “pre-approved” by four-time world champ Marc Reiner Schmidt.

Although its headquarters and factory have long resided in Union, New Jersey, Schott will always be associated with New York City. And its signature product, the Perfecto leather motorcycle jacket, will always be associated with American liberty. That’s why it is so fitting for Lady Liberty to ditch her robe in favor of a Schott Perfecto. The full graphic is on the back of the 100-percent cotton t-shirt, while only the Statue of Liberty’s hand and torch are printed on the front.

Texas tuning firm and sportscar maker finally rolled out its first production model of its highly-anticipated six-speed manual-equipped hypercar. The first rendition of the company’s flagship Venom F5-M is a British customer’s customized Roadster. At the buyer’s request, the first production Venom F5-M Roadster comes with an eye-catching purple carbon fiber exterior with an equally striking white leather interior. Other custom touches include purple and carbon fiber-colored interior and exterior bits, as well as 24-karat gold badging, commissioned by Hennessey’s customizable Maverick department. What remains unchanged, however, is the Venom F5-M’s twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V8 good for 2,031 horsepower and 1,445 pound-feet of torque. And this example of one of just 12 F5-Ms that will be made.
