     In my opinion, no. If anything, I see some similarities with the current Ferrari FF and Ferrari 599(which this above vehicle is replacing).

     The F12 Berlinetta comes standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. You can drive this vehicle as an automatic if you wish, or with the flick of a switch you can shift manually via the paddle shifters from behind the steering wheel. There is no clutch pedal. Transmissions such as this are usually referred to as “F1 Style” or “F1 Transmissions”, but it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

     With the advances in technology and safety, it’s looking doubtful that Ferrari will release a vehicle with a traditional 6spd manual transmission as standard production.
