What justifies the difference in prices?
Everything obviously started with a 599 GTB with Manual transmission that was auctioned during the 2014 Monterey auctions. More than $600,000 has been the "hammer price". The price was six times higher compared to a regular F1-example! All related, as market experts assumed, to the limited production number. Assumptions started with about 30 to 35 cars produced, what is obviously wrong, some figures about 60 should be more realistic. Asking prices have dropped to about $300,000 in the meantime.

F430 with Manual transmission sell about 30% to 50& higher than the F1-examples, 10% to 13% should be the share of the total production. 575 Maranellos should include 246 manual cars, Superamerica's share of manual cars is more than 10% (599 examples, thereoff 64 with manual transmission).

Most recently it was speculated about a real low number of Manual Scagliettis. This should not be the fact. Of about 3,000 cars up to 250 to 300 cars should have been completed with Manual transmission.

The most rare Manual car is not fully in market's sights - the California. If 3, 6 or 7 examples with Manual transmission this is by far the lowest production figure of all F1/Manual-range of models.
