E-Gear Features....

I'd figured I would know this by now, but I don't. I'm trying to figure out all the features of E-Gear. Nobody, nor any source on the web seems to be able to give a complete answer or the full features of the 3 buttons on E-Gear. I know one is Sport, I know the transmission is paddle-shift controlled, and that it has greatly improved since it was introduced.

But, my main curiosity is what do each of those 3 buttons help do for the cars with E-Gear? I know Sport must stiffen up the suspension, but what about the other 2? I'm highly considering an E-Gear transmission over the regular 6-Speed for my future Lambo., but I'd like to get some information on all the little knicks & crannies of it before making a final decision. I haven't seen pictures of E-Gear closeup so I apologize.

Appreciate any comments.

Funny, & I agree 6-speeds are fantastic, & very fun to drive.

But, I am asking seriously as I do feel I'd be driving the car on a very daily basis.

Sport allows for faster shifts and won't shift into next gear when you reach the red line. It does not affect the suspension, as far as I know. A allows for fully automatic shifts. Low traction will start the car in second gear for better traction in rain or snow. If I am wrong, Please feel free to correct me. I've had my e gear for a few weeks. After driving manuals for years, it takes some getting used to. But when you do, it's amazing!

Ah, thanks for the info. So, the A actually makes the car...a true automatic? That sounds so oxymoron-ish with a Lamborghini, but at the same time, kind of useful in certain situations.

But, now I just have to figure out the colors & other options. Thanks again for sharing olegs.
