Why Supercars Don't Move Without Throttle Input?
1 Answers
Because the clutch plates won't engage without throttle input, which is designed to protect both the clutch plates and transmission. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Transmission: Most supercars use dual-clutch transmissions, but they employ racing-style clutch plates. 2. Function: These clutch plates have extremely high friction coefficients, so they don't feature low-speed creep functionality to protect the clutch components. Supercars use dual-clutch transmissions due to their high power transmission efficiency, rapid gear shifts, and direct shifting characteristics. 3. Supercar Characteristics: Supercars never use AT (automatic torque converter) transmissions, let alone CVT transmissions, because AT transmissions contain torque converters with hydraulic fluid that causes power loss. Supercar engines produce enormous torque and exceptional acceleration performance, which is why their specially designed dual-clutch transmission plates never experience slippage.
