Manual transmission mode vs automatic, at start up

[TTBear]

Thanks, all. It has been a remarkably mild winter this year, and as such, I have FINALLY been able to bring the car out this afternoon for a short drive! It was delivered on New Year's day, and has sat in the garage ever since, with a measly 78 km on it.
Today, after doing a ton of other stuff, I was able to get out for a short blast - maybe 15 minutes or so.

So far, LOVE the car. I will put up a post when I have had a chance to properly drive it, but for now, suffice it to say, my previous concerns about it being too tame, are VERY unfounded. I am limiting the engine to 6000 rpm for a while, but already, the car is noticeably more responsive to throttle inputs than my previous LP560, and gear shifts are astoundingly smooth especially the initial clutch take-up, on first starting off from a stop.

Sorry, I digress. My question is - is there a way to set the transmission to default to "manual" mode instead of "automatic"? I can't see myself using automatic, ever, really.

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything - thanks, all!

Two options. In any anima setting (drive setting) if you push & hold the M button near park it forces into manual or auto depending what your already in. Also in corsa its manual always.

no way to make it default to manual on startup no I'm afraid. my routine, get in, start the car, switch to sport, hit the M button. well that was my routine, that got tedious. I know just switch to corsa, this is always manual

Thanks, guys. I was afraid of that. Not a huge deal, but in a car like this, why would Lamborghini choose to have it default to automatic? AUTOMATIC!!

Does anyone ever actually use automatic? I would think not - maybe, if you were letting someone else drive the car, initially?

Ah well. The smile on my face driving in manual, will far outweigh any inconvenience, hahaha.


Thanks!!!

I agree with you, wish there was a way to specify the default mode since I've never used or intend to use the auto mode.

Why would they default to manual?!? To satisfy the <1% of the likes of you. Get with the times ffs.

I read posts like this and I have to say I throw up a little.

Plus,I heard it is better for a DCT to shift it manually,who knows if that is true..

really, 99% drive in auto?

I remember watching a video of a journalist on the track with the Huracan complaining that it wont let him select automatic in Corsa mode. He said, the car knows better than me, it should be shifting for me.

I threw up in my mouth then. what a load of rubbish.
