The automatic in the car is intriguing. It operates with slip in first gear like every other auto "slushbox", after that the converter is locked up.
MB does this with the 7G gearbox as well.

I find that hard to believe... The 599 has 0.1 sec gear shift changes (versus 0.15 with the Enzo and 0.06 for the Scuderia) which whilst is being touted to be 0.1 in the IS-F, probably won't feel the same in the real world.

MB's already brought the number down to 0.15-0.125 seconds in their Black Series cars, but it doesn't feel the same thing when an automatic shifts versus an SMG/DSG or other...

But it would be interesting to try it out and see for myself if Toyota's really done it like they say.

what's the price - somewhere around 50k, right? I've been looking at coupes, but wouldn't mind 4 doors... if it can move. Dunno if I want to spend 50k though.

They have it at LA auto show for you to floor it on a roller.
