Driven: the world's fastest front-wheel-drive car - and it's a Golf. You donât really hear of Q-cars any more. Thirty years ago the phrase was commonplace, but has fallen into effective disuse today. A Q-car was a high performance machine designed to look like it couldnât pull the skin off a cup of cold cocoa.
In fact, many high-powered supercars are available only with automatic transmissions, like the Lexus LFA, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and the Lamborghini Aventador. The high-tech Nissan GT-R, nick named âGodzillaâ is one of the fastest cars around, and its dual-clutch transmission takes a lot of the credit.hile the manual transmission is the most engaging option on the FR-S, the automatic certainly isnât a boring slushbox. Also, both the automatic FR-S and the BRZ get better fuel-economy ratings than their manual transmission counterparts.
