Reviving the Ferrari F430’s Soul with a Manual Swap with GTE Engineering!

Why Convert the Ferrari F430 to a Manual?

The Ferrari F430 originally came with both a 6-speed gated manual and the F1 automated manual gearbox. However, gated manuals are extremely rare, making them highly desirable among collectors and drivers. Converting an F1 F430 to a manual not only enhances the car’s driving engagement but can also significantly increase its long-term value.
