2012 Lamborghini Gallardo Interior

The Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box) six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled semi-automatic robotized manual, which Lamborghini abbreviates to "E-gear". The "E-gear" allows the driver to make shifts much faster than a manual transmission would. The driver shifts up and down via paddles behind the steering wheel, but can also change into automatic mode.[4]

For the MY2006 (launched in late 2005) Lamborghini introduced many changes to the car to counter some criticisms garnered from the press and owners. These were derived from the limited edition Gallardo SE. The exhaust system was changed to a more sporty one (including a flap to make it quieter around town), the suspension was revised and a new steering rack was fitted, the engine power was increased by 20 bhp to a maximum of 512 brake horsepower (382 kW), the biggest change was an overall lowering of the gearing especially in 1st to 5th. The result was a much improved car; it handled and turned better, and sounded better under full throttle.
The new level of performance and high speed was registered recently in the open top sports car niche. A great example that combines very well these two features mentioned above is the 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante. The Lamborghini’s engineers applied the Superleggera treatment on the Spyder version of the Gallardo and transformed it into a more powerful supercar. The officials said that they wanted to manufacture an open model of the Superleggera which will be much lighter and will be able to achieve a higher speed.
