Ferrari Downsizes to Manual Gearbox




Ferrari has made the decision that th California should have a manual gearbox, instead of it's previous dual-clutch. There are many disadvantages;

The car will have a slower 0-100km/h acceleration. The acceleration used to be well under 4 seconds, but now it will reach the speed in 4.2 seconds. The top speed will remain at 310.6 km/h.

The other disadvantage is that the fuel consumtion will go from 17.8 mpg to 15.8 mph, a two-mile decrease.

Anyway, the manual version of the Ferrari California will be available in Europe this month, and in the USA in a bit.
