Optional Transmission:
N/A (Sequential manual was standard for LP670-4 SV)
Shifting Modes:
Normal, Sport, and a race-derived "Corsa" mode with faster shifts
Gearbox Oil Type:
Likely a high-performance synthetic gear oil meeting specific Lamborghini specifications (e.g., GL-4 or GL-5 rated, viscosity dependent on ambient temperature - manual would specify)
Audio System:
Premium audio system, potentially from brands like Alpine or Pioneer, integrated into the dashboard.
Navigation:
Integrated navigation system (likely a more basic system by modern standards, but advanced for its time).
Electronic Stability Control:
Advanced ESC system with multiple modes (Sport, Corsa) allowing for driver control over intervention levels.
Connectivity Features:
Limited by modern standards; primarily focused on internal vehicle systems and basic audio/navigation connectivity.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 7,500 miles or 12 months, but highly dependent on usage and driving style. The manual will provide exact intervals.
Major Service:
Significant maintenance items like spark plug replacement, timing belt (if applicable, though V12 likely uses chains), and fluid flushes typically recommended at higher mileage intervals (e.g., 30,000-60,000 miles) or specific time periods. The manual is crucial for this.
Engine Oil Type:
Likely a high-performance synthetic engine oil, e.g., 5W-40 or 10W-60, meeting API SN or ACEA C3 specifications. The manual will list the precise Lamborghini-approved specification and viscosity.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a long-life type. Manual will specify color and base type (e.g., G12, G13, or specific Lamborghini blend).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 high-performance brake fluid. Manual will specify DOT rating and requirements.
Power Steering Fluid Type:
Likely a specific hydraulic fluid or ATF, depending on the system. Manual will specify.
Common Issues:
While a robust supercar, potential issues can include clutch wear (due to performance driving), electronic system glitches (common in high-end vehicles), and specific wear items related to high-performance components. The manual is essential for diagnosing and resolving these.
