R35 Transmission, Veyron technology ?

[gtrlux]

Just reading edmunds insideline about the long term test of the R35, they say the mission was a joint adventure with the company RICARDO wich also develloped the clutch for the Veyron . . . cool stuff! Many magazines praised the R35 mission giving the car a Veyron like power distribution, the homage seems more then right as the Veyron seems to have now a real value (other then being the most expensiv car in the world), and that is being the technology pioneer for the R35 succes.

Of course, it all starts with the motor. An all-aluminum 3.8-liter V6 is matched with twin IHI turbochargers and tuned to deliver 480 hp. Attached to the new engine via a driveshaft built from carbon-fiber composite is a six-speed dual-clutch transaxle developed with behind-the-scenes assistance from Ricardo, which engineered the dual-clutch unit for the 1,001-hp Bugatti Veyron.
