Ferrari started removing manual transmissions from models in the late 2000's and hasn't offered one since the 599 which was discontinued in 2012, so everyone within the past 10-15 years.

- jonfw 4y agoThey're doing it because the automatics perform better, sell better, package better, and have more gears
- tmh88j 4y agoThat's hardly the case. F1 cars haven't used manual transmissions since 1995. DCT's enable the absurdly fast 0-60 and lap times that people expect when they're paying hundreds of thousands for a car. This is nothing new. Modern supercars haven't been offered with manual transmissions across most brands for nearly 10 years. You won't find them in a McLaren or Lamborghini made in nearly the past decade. Even Porsche doesn't offer them on the top 911 trims. Audi ditched it for the R8 in 2015. I don't think Mercedes has ever offered one for their AMG cars. As far as drag racing goes most serious competitors uses automatic transmissions.
