I'm willing to wait but I just hope the manual makes it into some of the lower trim levels and not just the top of the line model. I can justify Corvette type money for an A90 but Porsche 911 prices not so much.

I'm hearing 600lb/ft of torque factory rating!!!

Just to put things into perspective, the MKIV's Getrag was 500lb/ft torque factory rating.

Id love to have your sources.

For the potential alpha car?!...and in terms of a manual?! Or a beefed up ZF Auto?!

The transmission I mentioned above has a higher torque eating than the V160/1

*600 newton meters

and that is what was used in the prototype FYI



(V160 tq holding capacity is also 360 ft lbs iirc)

I heard lb/ft and nothing about the prototype or intro cars.

well, I'm obviously not all knowing and they might have upgraded it or completely changed it by now, but that's what it was back then.

600LB/FT at -1500kg?!
Did Tada use adamantium??

I am sure you are 110% right on the Nm for the prototype.

Also heard that the high torque manual transmission is not as "smooth" in shifting as Tada would like. Ya know, the more I hear these things, the more I feel like this thing is a MKIV repeat...lol. The W58 was a silky smooth manual transmission in the lower torque NA Supra's, and the notchy Getrag V160 was in the high torque Turbo Supra.

I want the 600lb/ft trans .

What would the weight of the car matter on the input rating of the transmission?

You do know the transmissions rating is based on input load not output load...right? I don't think anyone is expecting a factory 600lb/ft of torque producing Supra...lol.

 

[MA617M]

If anything a lighter mass is less stressful on the transmission. That said, big sticky 275s up the back don't help
