The Most Advanced Transmission Ever… or a Total Fail? #transmission #koenigsegg #jesko #jeskoabsolut #shortvideo #shorts #automobile #trending #gearbox
📌 How does Koenigsegg's Light Speed Transmission (LST) actually work?
Unlike a traditional transmission that shifts gears in a sequence (1→2→3...), Koenigsegg’s LST can instantly shift from any gear to any other gear — no delay, no lag.
🧠 Here's how:
It uses 7 clutches and 9 forward gears, all controlled electronically.
No synchros, no torque converter, no flywheel.
Instead, LST selects pre-engaged gear pairs, so the next gear is already ready before the shift even happens.
Shifts take as little as 20–30 milliseconds — faster than a blink.
You can jump directly from 7th to 3rd, or 5th to 2nd — instantly — depending on throttle input, G-forces, and driving mode.
🎯 It’s not just fast — it’s smart.
The system constantly monitors the car’s behavior and predicts what gear will give max performance or efficiency.
And yes… it can handle over 1,600 horsepower without flinching. 💪
This isn’t just a transmission — it’s a piece of automotive engineering art.🔧🚀
