I don't see a manual tranny for the v10s anywhere in the line up....

the e-gear is essentially a "required" option on the 560-4, sorta like the NAV package on the US bound R8s. You have to almost buy the car upfront to get the stick. Apparently Lambo does not want 6-speeds out there, at least according to the guys at Lamborghini Carolinas (good folks).

I bet the R8 is a similar story.

BTW, if the R8 V10 motor is the same as the new one in the 560, hide your wallet. The engine note is absolutely unbelievable!!!! For all of you smart folk with deposits on the V10 R8, it will definitely be worth the wait!!!
