CVT is available in the Honda Civic, Honda Jazz Hybrid, Honda Insight and Honda CRZ replacing the conventional 'automatic' transmission. CVT fully complements these low emission engines. The transmission automatically selects a gear which is nearest to the current road speed.
Yet this is the same transmission that was banned from Formula One before the first car so equipped, a 1993 prototype by Williams, turned a single lap in competition. It's easy to see why: when tuned for competition purposes, a CVT allows the engine to produce maximum power at all times.
