This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the limitations of the R8/Huracan dual-clutch gearbox. This information is mostly familiar, although it is an excellent resource for beginners.

Response: 550 ft-lbs (about 800 HP) for a standard DL-800.

I have damaged the second gear on a non-turbo R8. It is perplexing.

I was using an E85 tune with around 630 wheel horsepower when I damaged first gear. It may or may not have been caused by doing donuts and burnouts.

Out of curiosity, did it lead to only a new gear or a whole new gearbox? Did it perforate the casing?
