Metal Gearbox So-Good


Apologies, the 458 Italia after-shock is going to continue for some time! I see that Magna have purchased German transmission giant Getrag for around $1.9 billion. A great buy, I have a Getrag gearbox in my Focus ST (mk2) and it has taken some brutal punishment over the years. One of the greatest gearboxes I have ever had the pleasure of using is a Getrag, however, this Geterag is a 7-speed  dual-clutch gearbox, encased in the beautiful Ferrari 458 Italia. The shifts are so sharp and smooth it is mesmerising! Drive one and see.
