Lamborghini has no plans to develop a manual gearbox, simulated or otherwise, for any future production models.
The automaker understands there's an opportunity, but also knows it's not a trend among high-end performance cars.
Lamborghini road cars are designed to follow the path of their racing machines, which means greater hybridization and paddle shifters.
Ferrari may have found a way to bring the manual gearbox into the modern age, with its controversial 12Cilindria Manuale. But one of Maranello's biggest rivals, Lamborghini, has no interest in following Ferrari down the same path.
In an interview with Road & Track, Lamborghini's Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, Federico Foschini, says there could be an "opportunity" in offering a manual gearbox to customers, but that he doesn't see it as a trend that its production cars need to follow.
