We added a section to discuss the state of manual transmissions among high-end and exotic brands, plus a quote from Lamborghini’s CEO explaining how they do not intend to bring a manual transmission back to production.There has never been a worse time to be a manual transmission enthusiast — and yet, there has rarely been a better time to appreciate what we lost. Across the exotic car world, the three-pedal experience has been systematically retired in favor of faster, smoother automatics, leaving a shrinking pool of driver’s cars that still demand full engagement from behind the wheel. Lamborghini was among the last of the great Italian houses to make the switch, and when it finally did, it left the manual with a send-off worthy of the occasion: the Murciélago LP670-4 SV — the most extreme, most powerful, and ultimately rarest V12 Lamborghini ever offered with a clutch pedal.
