"The gearchange, too, makes other semi-automatics feel a bit lacking. In most cars, you get the impression that you could change ratio as quickly and as smoothly using a conventional stick and clutch. Not so the Ferrari. If you pull the right-hand steering wheel-mounted paddle, you will get crisp 150-millisecond upshifts. The left-hand paddle changes down with an equally satisfying blip of the throttle, making you feel like you’re in a Formula One car. On first impressions, the 612 is a big machine. But as the speed builds, you would never know that you were driving something that’s as long as a Mercedes R-Class."
