Ferrari seems very committed to bringing gated levers and selectors back to its cars. Between the Purosangue SUV’s novel gate-shaped toggle switches and the gear lever–shaped control device rumored to come to the Luce EV, the automaker seems keenly aware that one of its most notable signatures is the clacky, notchy shift mechanism from classic prancing horses with manual transmissions. The automaker seems to be getting one step closer to its supercar heyday if a recent patent is to be believed, which describes an actual gated manual shifter that can work with the automaker’s existing automated transmissions.
