Here’s yet another way that Lamborghini won’t be following Ferrari’s lead.
Days after Ferrari unveiled the 12Cilindri Manuale, its fellow Italian supercar maker has said it has no intention of releasing a similar model anytime soon. And a big part of the reason why, Road & Track reports, is that the company’s technology strategies are driven by its motorsports division.
When Ferrari revealed the 12Cilindri Manuale last week, we’re sure that there are more than a few Raging Bull fans out there who looked on with envy. That’s because the V-12-powered grand tourer is the first Prancing Horse to feature a special dual-clutch gearbox with a new “Manuale-by-Wire” system, which allows drivers to row through the gears like they’re driving a stick shift. Unfortunately for this part of the Lamborghini customer base, its chief marketing and sales officer Federico Foschini says there are currently no plans to put a similar transmission in one of the marque’s supercars.
