Maxidyne Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The dual clutch automated manuals are so good that European drivers are giving up their manuals for them. They offer performance advantages too- For example, the VW Golf R has over 50 less horses than a Ford Focus RS, but with the twin clutch automated manual VW offers but ford doesn't have the VW can match the Ford in acceleration. Ford seems to have taken notice, as the upcoming 700 HP Mustang will only be available with a 7 speed Tremec automated manual. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55302-wabco-reaches-agreement-with-daimler-on-transmission-tech/#findComment-413287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
