I'm not sure what they mean exactly by rear mounted engine. I think they may just mean like the Murci. I doubt that the Gallardo would have both manual and sequential together, mainly b/c those together would probably add some weight. Somehow they would have to have a computer set up for you to press a button to switch b/w manual and semi which to me would add a lot of unneeded weight. I agree I wish it had traditional scissor doors or at least something similar, its a Lambo trademark and they should keep it. Well heres my 2 cents.
