Key Points:
- Despite a resurgence in demand for manual transmissions in high-end exotic cars, Lamborghini has no plans to reintroduce manual gearboxes, focusing instead on electrified supercars and advanced technology.
- Other exotic manufacturers like McLaren and Ferrari are embracing manuals again, with McLaren unveiling the McL 6GT set for production in 2028 and Ferrari offering a by-wire manual in the 12Cilindri Manuale.
- Lamborghini's last manual road car was the Gallardo LP560-2 50th Anniversary edition in 2013, and the final V12 manual was the rare Murciélago LP670-4 SV, with only a few units equipped with a clutch pedal.
- The brand's current focus is on high-performance electrified models like the Revuelto SV, which boasts 1,050 hp and will be limited to 1,963 units, reflecting Lamborghini's priority on speed and capability over traditional manual driving experiences.
