Beyond Dawlish

The 10R80 Transmission, which was created as a result of the historic partnership between Ford and General Motors, is a shining example of what cooperative engineering is capable of. It represents a paradigm shift in the way that contemporary vehicles harness and deliver power, going beyond simply being a way to shift gears. The 10R80 handles each shift with the elegance of a maestro conducting a symphony—smooth, fluid, and deeply intentional—in contrast to traditional gearboxes that transition mechanically and frequently awkwardly. A driving experience that verges on the ethereal is produced by combining meticulous finesse with brute force in every gear change, which feels planned rather than forced.
