Can a car have 9 gears? What would it require?

Question:
I want a car to have 9 gears. That would really make it the fastest and also the fastest accelearating car.

Answers:

What happened to all those electric cars back in the 90's? Why aren't they available now?

not really. For one you would need a transmission twice as big as normal to house all those gears. and 2 time spent between gears is time when 0 power is being transfered from the engine to the wheels. So with 9 gears you would have almost twice as much time spent recieving 0 horse power. 5 or 6 gears is enough as most cars are limited by wind resistence or a governer. I mean you COULD have 9, but it would be pointless.

Car wrecked...towing question?


They make new transmissions is some luxury cars that are continuos acceleration. They only have 1 very wide gear. It's shaped kind of like an ice cream cone on it's side and theres a belt going around it. As the car accelerates the belt moves from the tip of the cone up towards where it gets wider thus increasing the gear ratio. very cool, and the car never shifts between gears.

semi trucks and specialty ap vehicles can have way mroe than 9 gears, but thats more about towing or high torque applications and not about speed.

It's all in the gearing , and the final axle ratios (like a 9 inch rear end for a mustang (i had with a 460 motor with a 2.73 gear ratio and a good 5 speed transmission Will go over 200 mph )

yes but it would need about 1500B/HP. there was 1 car bugatti veyron and that cost $5million and that had 7 gears and 1000B/HP. it can be done but it would take a lot of time, coolant,raditors and a really big engine

Do you think any of the big three auto makers "Ford/ GM/ Chrysler" will merge?

The more gears the slower acceleration. Believe it or not 3 speed tranny car is faster start than a 5 speed. Once you reach high speed 75 mph and up you need that extra gear. It all comes out on the gear ratio inside the tranny. If you look at the tractor trailers they have 18-20 gears. But are they fast? Not really.

Gears? does anyone use top gear all time?

Jason, a car can have as many gears as you can get on the transmit ion main shaft. the problem is it would require as lot of shifting. If you ever rode a 10 speed bike, how many of the 10 gears did you use?

What happens if you don't pay for a speeding ticket you got in a different state?

Tractors have upwards of 20 gears (both for forwards AND reverse).

Around how much would a 4-cylinder 1.3L engine weigh?


Nine gears would be a large gearbox, you'd need a gate at both ends of the gearstick travel, which means you'd probably hit 3rd instead of 1st accidentally quite a lot.
