@Marko Nikolić I thought an automatic uses a torque convertor while Lambo’s E-gear instead uses a clutch that’s electronically actuated automatically when the paddle shifters are pulled
I think this was also a feature in cars with the F1 transmissions like the Ferrari 575M and the 1st gen Aston Martin Vanquish. Idk if I’m 100% correct, I’m just digging up my recollection of 1st season of new top gear.
it’s a Lambo, they probably spent ask their time and money with the engine and handling and then spent 5 minutes figuring out the interior from the Audi parts bin.
Its quite logic really…:
As a lambo owner you should always go forwards… nothing should stop you or be in your way… your driveway / parking is such so that you never ever have to reverse..
But… if for some reason you really effed up… it means you commited a “sin”… and another word for left is “sinister”… = the reverse is located on your left side… /means you now can /facepalm-irl
I mean, that design thought corresponds directly to the average intellect of whoever would buy this car with an automatic.
I think the ‘automatic’ version he’s referring to is a robotized manual transmission controlled by paddle shifters instead?
@Zhi Han Leeyes but that’s still an automatic transmission

“It’s not bad design, it’s a… Quirk!”
Both
Activates the reverse lights 😂
Thats what i thought instantly too 🤣
Technically correct, the best kind of correct
Zero practicality
Pull into parking spaces & it’s an anti-theft feature!

New top gear which is now old top gear lol
So no one can steal it
We are going forward, no need to reverse
Don’t show this video Mr beast gonna crush them all
It’s on the left because we never go backwards!
Or on the right for RHD versions 😉

If all you do is press a button to put your car into reverse than I think it’s better to place that button somewhere only driver can reach..
I just love it how over the shifter there is an el. mirroradjustment from the Opel/GM parts bin
Cute “training wheels”

It means you bought one with the wrong transmission
Italian ergonomics, lol.
Mmm if I park it on my garage no one will be able to reverse it out. BUt I would be worried to press Reverse while turning the lights on!!!
To prevent an accidental push!?
Pretty good anti left to be honest
Who else came here because they needed to put their mercialago in reverse on a test drive 😂😂😂
