Why The Death Of The Manual Lamborghini Is All Our Fault
For everyone lamenting the death of the manual, these quotes from Lambo CEO Stephen Winkelmann should make it clear that it's nobody's fault but our own
At a recent event at Lamborghini’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, journalists were pestering chief engineer Maurizio Reggiani about the absence of a manual option on the new car. According to AutoGuide, Reggiani began to explain how fewer than five per cent of Gallardo owners ticked the manual ‘box option, when CEO Stephen Winkelmann jumped in.
Apparently, that five per cent statistic is out of date. In fact "close to zero per cent of Gallardos were ordered in manual," Winkelmann confirmed. In fact, orders for manual Gallardos became such a rare event, that when one did come in, engineers would contact the dealership to double check the form was correct.
