Are Ferraris Automatic or Manual?

[LouisFitz]

Ferrari's supercars are all automatic. Here is some relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle will be. 2. Driving Tips: For manual transmission cars, higher RPMs should be used when shifting up. Engines are designed to operate at higher RPMs, and various components' dynamic balance and rotational inertia parameters are also designed with high RPMs in mind. If the engine operates for long periods outside its normal working range, the load and wear on internal components naturally increase, leading to frequent shaking and knocking, which can affect the engine's lifespan. Choosing 3000 RPM as the shift-up point ensures that after shifting, the engine operates at around 2300 RPM, keeping it within a healthy RPM range.
