Thanks for sharing.
"Additional high speed vehicle testing was performed to validate the transaxle assembly which consisted of
10,000 km at maximum engine speed in both 5 th and 6th gear. This 13 day test was performed at the Nardo
facility in Italy and involved re-fuelling and driver changes every 45 minutes during which 987 gallons of
fuel were consumed. The end result was a 6-speed automatic transaxle assembly that was proven to be durable for 150,000 miles that could meet all of the targets specified"
