The Torotrak IVT







The Torotrak IVT
The biggest number is almost nothing compared to the infinite and it would be better to take great care about the use of this term. If we speak about "Continuously Variable Transmission" (CVT) for a transmission which shifts ratios uninterruptedly within a range closed at both ends, we can therefore save the use of the expression "Infinitely Variable Transmission" (IVT) for a system providing an infinite variation range.
Today, the Torotrak IVT easily handles the 475 Nm of the Ford 5.4 liters V8, providing a fuel economy improvement of some 20 % against the standard automatic transmission, as well as a better drivability. When shall we be able to buy a car with such an ideal transmission, which the author was one of the first journalists to test drive?
