This is the ONLY Manual Ferrari 430 Scuderia In the World
The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is a dream come true for any speed fans all over the world. However, in the view of driving aesthetes, the only thing that has been missing for a long time in the design of this supercar is the manual option.
Unfortunately, manufacturers of supercars no longer offer manual options for their products, making models like Scuderia an elusive dream. However, a company called European Auto Group (EAG) managed to produce the manual 430 Scuderia, claiming that there is no existing analogs to this engineering masterpiece. It should be noted that Ferrari has never offered the manual Scuderia version, significantly complicating the process of conversion.
Interior
According to EAG, the company’s engineers used
original Ferrari parts with the only purpose to preserve the car's originality.
It is also pointed out that this was a 100% conversion, not a simple
replacement. This unique car is still equipped with the original gearbox, but
the clutch is now controlled directly by the driver rather than a computer.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia
This engineering endeavor can be considered as a heroic deed. Before starting this fantastic initiative EAG officials obtained consent from the Ferrari president, but he was very pessimistic about the success of this engineering undertaking. EAG had to buy original spare parts from Ferrari (wiring harness and clutch pedal). The gate and gearstick were also purchased from Ferrari. All these original components were complemented by the unique center console designed by EAG engineers.

The final product surpassed all expectations. The only noticeable indications that this supercar once had the automatic transmission are 2 small holes in the steering column where the paddle shifters used to be positioned. EAG's manual gearbox makes the car agile, adding more vivid impressions to your driving experience unlike driving other Ferrari models. For any car collector, this unique 430 Scuderia is a must-have model.
This car is now available for potential customers at a cost of $389,900 (EAG engineers also added a number of other features apart from a manual gearbox). EAG plans to further develop in this direction and to offer other conversion options to its potential customers.
