Very nice looking. But probably like the Porsche GT3 RS, it won't get the full weight reduction. Just too many safety regulations these days.

Its a SMG similar to the Ferrari F1 tranny. It has a clutch but a robot shifts the gears you can signal a shift with paddles.

Basically I like the Superleggera but would prefer a 3-pedal manual tranny or a double clutch (DSG type) tranny.

I's still behind the F430 (in my book).

I'm glad to see that at least one manufacturer gets that it's more important to shave weight than add horsepower.

It's a paddle shift controlled dogbox. The paddles are on the steering column, the dog gearbo is shifted by robotic arms and the throttle is controlled by the ECU to match the engine rev for each gear etc etc. It's way better than the Ferrari. The shift is much faster and more direct. I think in the Ferrari the gearbox still has synchro but I might be wrong here.

My friend bought a Gallardo S about 1.5 years ago. The car came with a set of track tyres+ rims and a track exhaust. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to drive it on the street but not on the track. It's a nice fast exotic car but I still prefer my track prep R32GTR. The R32GTR is faster, raw and more brutal
