8 speed Transmission

[wills_accord]

Yall seen the new Lexus LS 460. It has an 8 speed auto tranny, whats up with that? The engine is the world’s first V8 to combine both port and direct fuel injection. The fuel shoots stright into the cylinder.


Here's a link to their site for more info.

I might have to move this to "Other Automotive" damn it.

I just saw one today while I was waiting for my car to get fitted for new shoes.

This car also parallel parks itself, kinda of like autopilot...crazy Japanese!

dang it probably shifts like a MAC truck.lol

I saw the commercial for it tonight. Neat. I can't think of why 8 gears are needed in that car, however.

I dont think I feel confortable to have the car parallel park for me cuz if it misses its mark adn ending up hittting another car I dont think the the cops would take the excuse of ' I didnt do it' it was my car.lol and Ide be the one ending up paying for the damages.

Well it is technically a Toyota.......go figure.

I would venture to say that's inaccurate. The shifting should be seamless....

Gas mileage and performance for the 8 speed. Plus they have been doing this tech for a while I am surprised they finally let it out.

imagine the internal complexity of an 8speed... i saw the commercial yesterday, thought it was semi interesting.

so it could drive out into space, duh.

something my friend mentioned while we were discussing it: what if one of the stationary cars starts moving? its not like the car is going to go into automatic evasive mode and start driving out of the way

Is it an autobot or decepticon?
