Lamborghini Rejects Simulated Manuals as Index Climbs 0.58%

Lamborghini will not follow competitor Ferrari down the path of developing simulated manual transmissions for its future high-performance vehicles, per Motor1.com. Brand executives emphasized that the Italian automaker intends to focus on alternative technologies rather than mimicking legacy mechanical gearboxes. This strategic decision comes as the brand notched a third straight weekly increase, with secondary-market prices ticking up 0.58% over the past seven days.

This positive weekly movement places Lamborghini 6th of 7 tracked brands in the collector car market over a rolling three-month window. The brand's three-month decline of -3.63% lagged the broader automotive benchmark, which rose 1.44% over the same period, as well as the category median return of 2.97%. While top-performing peer Rolls Royce gained 7.62%, worst-performing peer McLaren slipped -4.40%, indicating that collectors are currently favoring ultra-luxury touring models over pure supercars.

Across 4793 tracked listings on leading secondary marketplaces, the brand's longer-term performance remains mixed. Average prices moved up 0.36% over the past month, while the longer-term twelve-month trend shows a positive gain of 2.99%.
