> Supercars generate 5x-10x more torque, which would likely break this sort of transmission Perhaps, perhaps not. Williams had a working CVT in the FW14C F1 car, which was pre-emptively banned at the behest of their competitors. It probably set back CVT research by a couple of decades, and marked the end of F1 as a tech testbed. Currently it's worth noting the Toyota are running the Lexus 450h in racing, and the Lexus LS600h runs a 327HP/520Nm V8 though a CVT mated to an electric motor running over 200 HP.
