F1 Superfast gearbox
One of the unique strengths of the current Ferrari range is the F1-type gearbox. This was taken a step further in the design of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano resulting in the astonishing F1-SuperFast. The new gearbox's name encompasses the two key concepts behind its design: the fact that it is derived from the ultra-competitive world of Formula 1 and the faster-than-ever gear shifting times it delivers. In fact, it is one of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano's most innovative and exclusive features and is yet another world first on a roadgoing car.
In traditional automatic gearboxes, the various operations involved in gear shifting are performed sequentially as follows: lifting off and declutching; disengaging, selecting and engaging the gear; letting the clutch out as power is fed back in. It follows therefore that the gear changing time should be calculated according to the time necessary to complete the three gear changing operations in sequence - the so-called acceleration gap - rather just as the time it takes to engage the gear. However, in a significant leap forward, the F1-SuperFast's absolutely innovative integrated engine and gearbox management programme allows the combined disengaging/engaging of the gears partly in parallel with letting the clutch in and out.
