Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino.
Today I'm in the Principality of Monaco and
I cannot believe that I'm driving a 6-Speed manual Ferrari 599 GTB.
I've driven so many times my friend Stefano's 599 GTB that has a flappy paddles gearbox
but this, this is such a unique opportunity!
It is such a unique opportunity because
I think that Ferrari has produced something like 20 manual 599
and
due to the low amount of these produced, the value of this car is growing a lot.
Recently one of these have been sold for a staggering 645.000€, that's pretty insane!
But driving a V12 powered Ferrari with a 6-Speed manual is priceless!
And today I'm gonna take you for a tour around the Monaco circuit.
The F1 race starts in less than a month but here everything is ready.
And let me say that it's pretty exciting doing it with a 6-Speed manual Ferrari.
There is a lot of police!
The metallic noise when you change gear, this is fantastic!
It's fantastic as much as the noise that this engine makes!
Heel-toe!
That's something that we don't do anymore with the supercars of today.
It's a shame that nowadays most manufacturers doesn't offer us a manual gearbox anymore
and I think this is also the reason why most supercars
like the Porsche GT3 RS and in general the manual gearbox Lamborghinis and Ferraris
are getting really expensive right now!
But I hope that someday they will start again to produce these cars.
The clutch is not very hard.. surprisingly.
Let's make a few tunnels!
I never get tired to drive this car!
This is violent!
With a clutch pedal it's not really the most practical car to drive around the city
but it's really fun!
This is really a once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a 6-Speed manual 599 GTB
and I really wanna say thanks to the owner for allowing me to drive this car.
I hope you guys did enjoy the video and
