Ferrari F1 Transmission...?

Question

I am interested in buying either a Ferrari 355 F1 or a Ferrari 360 Modena F1. Is there a place online I can go to, or are there classes available that show how to use an F1 Paddle-Shift Transmission. I know I must sound very naive, but your help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I think it's a reasonable concern - the idea of an expensive piece of kit running wild.  I felt the same before driving my brother's 360 Spider (on his driveway only, so no more than 20mph and with lots of run off room).  My local Lamborghini dealer also understood the concern and happily agreed to show me the system "live" so I'm going for a spin (figuratively, not literally I hope!!!) this weekend.  I used to loathe the idea of such a transmission but they are getting better and better - - and the sounds as the system blips the revs during downshifts are excellent.
