Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder: Driven?

Ok, I think this is one of the strange test "drives" where we are not sure that they have actually really driven the car. If so, why they didn't take any pics.
Nonetheless a nice read.

No, you must change gear using the most intimidating piece of ironmongery to have come out of a Catholic country since the thumbscrews of the Spanish Inquisition: the Italian supercar's open-gate manual shift.

Feel for the pedals, which seem unusually light, and fumble for the ignition. Turn the key and, after a throat-clearing pause, the engine roars clatteringly to life before easing to idle.

This being the new soft-top Lambo, you decide to open the canvas roof and it stows automatically in seconds. You reverse out of your driveway, realising too late that a button to the right of the gearshifter can raise the front of the car.

The car makes expensive scraping noises which you pretend not to hear.
