not just the S-Type R, the V8 S-Type has it also i believe.
leave it to ferrari to come up with a 7 speed. thatd be funny as hell.

A CVT can be programmed for 100 "fixed" ratios if someone really wanted to...
And, their are rumors about taking a variant of the F1 7-speed SMG and producing a road going version.
The Ferrari's 575M Maranello already had a killer six-speed electro hydraulic transmission-control and unlike the BMWs M3 SMGII, will shift faster than the nerve conduction times of most humans... (I want one!).

(There are some better pictures around on some of the BMW web sites – this is from the ZF page.)
BTW – there are other problems, but the low-torque handling of a CVT can be worked-around by up and down gearing around the CVT proper (and it has it’s own drawbacks), but…

but 7 speed manual seems a bit unrealistic 
i even think 6 speed is much much enough for cars today...even F-1 cars only has 6 front speed ..but f-1 cars have up to 18000 rpm

The 2002 Ferrari F1 has 7 forward speeds. And there are slow-speed turns where they are way off 18K (more like 6-10K).
Once that box has "automatic control" and the shift speeds get down in the 20-80ms shift range, it really helps to keep the engine on the HP power peak...
Number of speeds: 7 + reverse.
