Forget the massive infotainment screen—older car dashboards were actually smarter
Ferrari has moved to restore physical controls to a number of its recent models.
The company and its dealers are offering a retrofit that replaces touch‑sensitive, haptic steering‑wheel buttons with conventional push buttons on cars including the Purosangue, 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider.
Ferrari of Atlanta first advertised the upgrade and Ferrari confirmed the programme through dealer channels.
Who is involved: Ferrari, authorised dealers, and owners who complained about the haptic interface.
Why it matters: the retrofit improves tactile usability and reduces distraction, which has safety implications.
Consequences: increased dealer service activity, outlay for owners, and a broader industry signal that tactile controls may return to high‑end car cabins.
Ferrari expects the retrofit to be handled locally by authorised service centres, with pricing set by dealers.
