Default Ferrari 599 GTB with manual transmission . . .

Did not know that Ferrari made the 599 with the traditional manual, figured they all had the flappy paddle gearbox. Only made 30 of them with the manual box, and of course like any rare Ferrari, the value has been skyrocketing. According to the video, the said car is worth $688,000 with current exhange rates. Considering the video is now a couple years old, the car in said video is probably worth even more now.

This guy either is completely insane or has cajones the size of grapefruits. Either way, I wouldn't be driving a 612hp, mansion's worth of car like that on the street. Still entertaining though.

Oh man, that's beautiful. I don't care that it's not fast to shift. It looks like great fun. I'm amazed that only 30(!!!) manual versions were made. They must have all been special order... if special ordering isn't the norm anyway when purchasing a new Ferrari.
