How The Koenigsegg Jesko's Light Speed Transmission Works
Find Your Next Car Here: bit.ly/2REDOiu
How Koenigsegg's 7-Clutch LST Work - Sponsored By AutoTempest
The Koenigsegg Jesko is a marvel of modern engineering. With a 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, it produces 1600 horsepower on E85 fuel. That's just the start. Power is sent through a 9-speed, 7 clutch transmission. Why on earth would a transmission need 7 clutches? For insanely fast shifts, from any gear to any other gear, that is. According to Koenigsegg, the clutches can open and close in as little as just 2 milliseconds! The setup uses three shafts and compound gearing to make it all work, resulting in less gear pairs overall. With a clutch for each gear pair, shifts are not only insanely fast, but there's never a loss of torque during upshifts either, as the clutches overlap while closing and opening, meaning you'll retain positive torque during the shift. Check out the video to learn all about how it works!

@nik7bkh965 3 жыл бұрын

@@David-lr2vi can't compete with Koenigsegg? To be fair, all these "innovations" Koenigsegg came up with (Free Valve, Lightspeed transmission, top mounted spoiler, etc) are pretty meaningless if the car is not performing. For example every McLaren Senna with half the power or even a 488 pista is faster around tracks than these Koenigseggs. Koenigsegg cars are brutal but way less refined, they often lack traction or stability, which makes them hard and not fun to drive unlike cars such as the Gt2rs, the pista or the Senna, which all are way less powerful but better performing.

@David-lr2vi 3 жыл бұрын

Nik7 BKH. Well McLaren is another niche car maker. I understand that the whole package makes the car. My whole point is that it seems that it’s the small volume car makers that seem to be doing all the R&D these days and not the mainstream companies like Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, etc. Maybe the big car companies are all spending their R&D money on electric cars?

Im studying mechanical engineering at DTU in Denmark, one of our teachers helped koenigsegg building this transmission. He told us that the biggest challange with this transmission was that the gears had to be very thin because of all the clutches. Most computer programs said the transmission was completly impossible to design. The tolerances in this transmission is extremely tight, and also the expected lifetime is not that high :D

@hugo-pg5tv 5 ай бұрын

He propably lied cuz Koenigsegg haven't said anything about it being bad in durability. The latest video about the gearbox litterly says it has very low wear of the gears and clutches.

Either way it’s a revolutionary feat in engineering and it’s too bad this was developed in the tail end of ICE era of automotive technology (although I don’t fully believe ICE is as close to being phased out as everyone wants us to believe, it is inevitable) I truly hope koenigsegg will license this to other manufacturers so us as simpletons will get to experience this. This has long been dream by car manufacturers and enthusiasts alike. Bravo, damn swedens put a perpetual watch in a transmission

@abes3925 5 жыл бұрын

The difference being is that cars like Rolls-Royce are going to driven unlike the Koenigsegg which are garage queen due to how long it takes to get any repaired when the cars break down which happens frequently. Most of the technology koenigsegg uses has already been experimented by other automakers. There’s a reason they didn’t use said technology mostly because the difficulty of mass production, too little improvement over existing designs, or being unreliable.

How does Koenigsegg handle the 3/4 and 6/7 shifts, especially with clutch overlap for continuous power delivery? Those two involve swapping not one but two pairs of clutches - shifting one sub-transmission a step up and shifting the other down. All modern multi-clutch automatics involve only a single clutch-to-clutch swap for every sequential and double shift to avoid engine flare or bogging down the engine.

@furionese 5 жыл бұрын

Great explanation as always Jason! It's really fascinating they put clutches where syncromeshes are usually at. From what I see the clutch 4, 5, 6 are the busiest ones for daily city driving as they're responsible for 1st to 3rd gear changes. The least used one perhaps the clutch 3, if you don't shift beyond 6th gear you'd never use it. All this changes if you mainly run the car on circuit though. After a year of daily usage the clutch sets 4 - 6 would wear out the most, then perhaps the clutch 1? As there is no "flywheel" vs main clutch plate slip to start the car, like in standard car, would this gearbox let the clutch 1 fully grip then let the clutch 4 slip to start the vehicle? Or vise versa? Or both clutches slip to start the car? In a metaphor for bicycle, the 1st tier gear sets are like you have 3 gears on front derailer and 2nd sets are the rear 3 gears - hence gives you 9 possible different ratio combinations. 3 is a nice number, 2x2 wouldn't really work coz that only gives you 4 speeds, 4x4 is bit too excessive (16 speeds) but might work for trucks.
