The original Lamborghini Gallardo deserves more credit than it gets.
Just pulling away in the Gallardo is more complex than you’d think, as this one is equipped with the dreaded E-Gear transmission. Like most early electronically operated manual transmission of the Nineties and Aughts, it uses a single clutch to go up and down the gears with paddles mounted to the steering column. There’s no Park position, only gears 1 through 6, neutral, or reverse . Setting off means putting the handbrake down and pulling the paddle to put the transmission in 1st.
It doesn’t take long to spot signs the Gallardo was designed two decades ago, some charming, some not. The steering exhibits far more feel than in a modern Lambo like the Huracán, but the rack is slower, making the front end feel less pointy. I also scraped the nose within a few feet of setting off, as this car has no front axle lift.
The E-gear transmission doesn’t elevate the Gallardo’s experience, it dominates it. Everything you’ve heard about these transmissions is true. At full throttle, it’s excellent. Upshifts are quick, the computer cutting the throttle and slamming into the next gear in a ferocious, absolute manner. It’s addictive. But in any other situation, it’s clunky, slow, and at times, infuriating.
