Are sports cars mostly manual or automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Most sports cars are equipped with automatic transmissions. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in automobiles: AT (automatic transmission), CVT (continuously variable transmission), and dual-clutch transmission. Most sports cars utilize dual-clutch transmissions or AT transmissions, which differ in their working principles and structural designs. Here is additional information: Advantages and disadvantages: Manual transmissions are generally cheaper and more cost-effective compared to automatic transmissions; manual transmission cars feature mature transmission technology with high reliability, and their maintenance costs are lower than those of AT automatic transmissions; being purely mechanical without electronic assistance, manual transmissions have a significantly lower failure rate; for the same model, manual transmission cars are slightly heavier than their automatic counterparts, providing better vehicle stability.
