does the 0-60 time matter at all when it is a luxury car and not a sports car in any way shape or form?
if youre going to race this, youre never leaving the stock transmissions anyway, even if it was a manual, and if you had one of these in real life, you probably wouldnt even be the one driving it lmao.
why would you want the quickest model if all that does is limit the classes they can race in? id rather a car that starts in C class and can be modified than one that starts in S2:998
just modify the slower one to match the higher tier, or download someone elses tune that has done that.
as long as theres no visual differences, I dont see a reason not to if the performance can be matched
the “optimal model” for this car was the automatic. its a luxury car, the one that didnt need shifting was more desirable.
and fair enough for wanting to keep the suspension, engine, diff, etc stock since they change how the car drives, but the transmission? especially while playing on manual? what are you on about? just press the 2 buttons and you get the car you want while everyone else gets to enjoy the extra modification potential that can make the difference between an engine swap in B class that makes it unbeatable and being stuck with a slow car in A class.
Well, unfortunately, it might be time for me to own up again, because it looks like the internet bamboozled me again. I’ve been doing additional research, and it does appear the Lagonda was never offered with a manual transmission. Automobile Catalog, which was the source I was using as my basis for my argument, is the only source I can find that claims the Lagonda was offered with a manual transmission for five whole model years, but I have found no other evidence proving this. Even Aston Martin themselves only lists the Lagonda as an automatic transmission car. So, in short, I apologize for wasting people’s time.
Well, they did add the quickest one, the latest models weighed a bit less due to the removal of the pop-up headlights and the engine was uprated to 221kw over 209, the gearbox can be fixed after the fact.
I realized my mistake already. I was gaslit by my main source of car specs. They inaccurately claimed the Lagonda had a manual transmission option for five model years, when in fact, there is no record of there ever being a production manual. Only manual Lagondas I could find were prototypes for a Virage version, and I think the convertible Lagonda concept came with one too.
Yep, meanwhile Wikipedia over here has conflicting info on how much power these actually generate
One source says 223kw for S3, 212kw for S4, another lists 223kw for 1987 (S4), another says 221kw
It’s ridiculous.
(Also, the part about it not having a manual make sense imo, Rolls-Royce didn’t offer one in the Bentley Turbo R either, and that was clearly a sporty model)
Exactly. It’s actually quite difficult to find accurate information on older cars. Obviously, the more popular the car, the more likely you’ll find accurate information, but many sources I’ve found over the years have been inconsistent with less popular or lower production cars.
A similar thing happened to me with the Chaser that was added recently. I was under the impression the top trim level Chaser came with a manual, and the developers simply opted for automatic for whatever reason. And while that generation did indeed have a manual transmission, it was not offered on the sport models. Wikipedia didn’t clarify this, and other websites were equally as vague. An actual owner of a Chaser of that generation had to reach out to me and explain this to me.
