Why Are Sports Cars Mostly Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission allows for rapid acceleration, which automatic transmission cannot achieve, and rapid acceleration is crucial for sports cars. Here are the relevant details: 1. Principle: Due to the insufficient torque conversion range of the hydraulic torque converter in automatic transmissions, multiple planetary gear sets are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears according to the engine's working conditions, achieving automatic torque conversion. 2. Pros and Cons: AT (Automatic Transmission) does not require a clutch for gear shifting, has fewer gear changes with larger ranges, and provides smooth connections, making it easier to operate. This not only offers convenience to the driver but also ensures comfort for passengers.
