There's no manual transmission in new Ferraris and Lambos anymore.

I heard it can be special ordered, its been a long time coming anyway. If I let you drive my Fiat and you experienced a directly cabled clutch you would wish they never invented a hydraulic unit.

No you cannot. Ferrari 430 was the last model available with manual which you had to special order and 6-8 months wait. Both the Ferrari 458 and Lambo Aventador use flappy pedals.

That's surprising, I guess keeping both systems available was too expensive. Still, I'm sure if you are say a Saudi Prince you can get a gearbox, just bring gold bars along.

I had to to Google this. I thought the 360 was the last with the old school option.

430 comes in manual but it's very rare... I did take a photo of one I'll just have to dig it up.

EDIT: Oh wait that pic is a 430...
