Lexus Confirms Manual Transmission For EVs, LFA Successor May Get It via insideevs.com
showed a video demonstration of the manual transmission fitted to the Lexus UX 300e research prototype .
The system appears to mimic the operation of a manual transmission fitted to an internal combustion engine, complete with engine noise and even a tachometer. It's so realistic that the handheld camera jerks a little between shifts, and the driver may even stall the car or roll backwards on a hill start if the clutch is not engaged., which previews the all-electric successor to the LFA supercar, looks like the ideal candidate to offer the manual transmission.
The Electrified Sport represents the brand's vision for a future halo sports car with a battery electric drivetrain capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in around 2 seconds. "I cannot tell you when we will be launching a production vehicle based on the Electrified Sport. But I can confirm that we are working on it. This is not just a design concept. It is meant to become reality.
There are no powertrain specs available yet, but given that the mind-blowing acceleration can't be achieved without all-wheel drive, it should have at least two electric motors. The likely won't stand in the way of performance because it can be bypassed using a stalk on the steering column, as shown in the video demo—the stalk features L4, BEV, and V8 modes.More stories on Lexus electric vehicles
