First there was the Purosangue, then came the F80, then the joke that is the Luce, and now Maranello has decided what the world really needed was a \"manual\" 12Cilindri that isn't actually a manual. Is it a gimmick? Absolutely. Does it matter if it looks like a manual, feels like a manual, and makes people smile like a manual? Maybe not... at least while it's still under warranty. We dig into Ferrari's latest attempt at giving enthusiasts what they want without actually giving them what they want.\nWe also recap an epic day on the little bikes, early Audi adopter quirks, discuss Avants Classics on the Green, and cover a bunch of other automotive nonsense along the way.\n\n \nThe Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!\nNot an Avants member? https://www.avants.com/member-plans \nLeave us a review on Apple Podcasts! \nLeave us a voicemail or send us a text any time at 425-298-7873!\nWe're doing give aways!
