GM and Ford join forces to develop world's first 10sp auto

Posted by Waggin @ Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:00 pm

The next-generation Holden Commodore, due in 2017, could have as many gears as your old Malvern Star as automotive enemies, Ford and General Motors, have joined forces to create the world's first ten-speed automatic transmission.

The American car giants have extended a previous joint-venture transmission program, which created a series of six-speed gearboxes, to develop both nine- and 10-speed automatics that will be suitable for cars, crossovers, SUVs and trucks.

Neither company has released detailed technical information on the gearboxes, but the companies have confirmed that development has already commenced and that they will be adapted to both front-, all- and rear-drive applications.

“Engineering teams from GM and Ford have already started initial design w...

Ford's Indian advertising blunder

Posted by Waggin @ Mon Mar 25, 2013 2:01 pm

Ford has come under heavy criticism and issued a subsequent apology over an advertising campaign which depicts celebrities bound, gagged and stuffed into the boot of an Indian-made small sedan.

Twin-turbo V6 for Holden Commodore?

Posted by Waggin @ Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:07 pm

This could be Holden's answer to Ford's potent Falcon XR6 Turbo.

General Motors has shown off a twin-turbocharged engine based on the 3.6-litre V6 used in the Holden VF Commodore.

The new motor makes a V8-beating 313kW and 583Nm, 43kW and 53Nm more than the current 6.0-litre V8 in the SS and will be linked to an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission in Cadillac’s new CTS sedan.

Cadillac says the engine “brings a new dimension of technologically advanced performance “ to the brand and develops 90 per cent, or about 520Nm, of its torque from only 2000rpm.

The engine would give Holden an answer to Ford's popular turbocharged XR6, as it is based on the engine used in the Commodore SV6.

But the twin-turbocharged unit has several key departur...
