Will you enjoy driving a car with a fake manual gearbox? Lexus thinks so. Lexus LexusElectrified LexusBEVSport CarGuidePH
Lexus thinks its shift to all-electric vehicles shouldn’t equate to the loss of engagement and driving fun; after all, they’re busy touting their so-called Lexus Driving Signature. To that end, they’re working on a manual transmission specifically for EVs.
This manual gearbox has a physical gear shifter, tachometer, and a “clutch-like” pedal. However, everything’s simulated via software—the third pedal isn’t connected to a clutch and the gearbox doesn’t actually have multiple gears or a synchro. It’s so realistic that the driver can jerk the car if he dumps the clutch. He even faces the possibility of stalling the car or rolling backwards on a hill start. And since the system is governed by ones and zeroes, each driver can choose their preferred “gearing” without having to swap out cogs of varying ratios.
