Yesterday, Lamborghini made an annoucement that broke most motoring purists' hearts. Just like Ferrari, Lamborghini has announced that it will leave manual transmissions to the history books. Car and Driver reports that the decision was part of the company's commitment to increasing the fuel economy of its models. In addition, Lambo plans on building ever-lighter exotics.

Don't plan on seeing any turbocharged Gallardos in the next few years, however. Most automakers are using forced induction to curb fuel consumption, but Lambo has no plans to add turbochargers to their engines.
