epper: :lol: After the latest fight on Chris Melia thread, it looks like the forum has got a new position.......which is at this stage represented by me......
"THE AGITATOR"
sorry for that. A suggestion.....why don't you open a new info source based on votes???
The fans list of any member of the forum. Should't be so bad.
Just to make some more fun.:dead:
Of course I am joking, but also I appreciate all of them who are following with interest my technical explanations and do not who are thinking I am a clown. One thing I understood after Dave Morton's suggestion:
take it easy.
Ready to answer to all the technical matters regarding manual road use transmissions with extreme pleasure. Pls, do not ask me to criticise directly other products.
In order to give the right way indications, pls find attached my curriculum and my specialisation.
Cheers

<o
></o>After the drudgery of school, Wanni started to fulfil his ambitions in 1983 at Lamborghini as a production mechanic working on the construction of Countach rear axles, Countach gearboxes, Jalpa gearboxes, LM002 transfer cases, hydraulic transmissions for power boats with Lamborghini engines and the prototype and initial production of Diablo axles and gearboxes. After 6 years it was time to move on to pastures new.<o
></o><o
></o>Whilst moving from Sant’ Agata to Campogalliano was not very far, Wanni was almost immediately sent to the Porsche development centre at Weissach to gain further transmission development experience. The first project was the Bugatti EB110 – both the GT and SS models. Following the commencement of production, Wanni went to work on the development of the EB112 on the Schenck 4 wheel drive dynamic test bench.<o
></o><o
></o>In 1995 when Bugatti unfortunately went into liquidation, he was firstly employed by the ffice:smarttags" /><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
lace w:st="on">Monaco</st1lace></st1:country-region> Racing Team (MRT) for their IMSA & BPR programs. Following this he spent time in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Athens</st1lace></st1:City> as workshop manager of Trident Cars (the official importer and dealer of Maserati, Lotus, Lamborghini and Bugatti) for 8 months. In the meantime a new project was proposed by Peter Tutzer to Wanni; the development of a quadracycle for Iso Rivolta at the facilities of Foligno. The project was successfully completed in 2 years.<o></o><o
></o>At the end of this project he went back to the powered automotive world, indeed the extreme sportscar environment. Initially developing for CIMA SpA, in collaboration with Pagani, a 6-speed transaxle transmission with 750 Nm torque capability. That initial project was completed in 2000 form when it has been continually refined and re-engineered and is now the specified transmission by over 12 manufacturers in the extreme sports car market.<o
></o><o
></o>Currently Wanni is working on the development of the following projects:<o
></o><o
></o>The sequential unit for the T750 series transmission; an upgrading to 1.000 Nm of this unit, the application of an active differential to this unit and as well on an innovative paddle shifting system with a “for life drive away unit”. All those mechatronic applications are made in collaboration with a new company part of GearFox Group, Automac Engineering, under the brand FoxMatic. <o
></o>Hydraulic lifters or wings actuators or any other motorised or robotised automotive matters are now possible and/or available thank to that joint venture.<o
></o><o
></o>A dual clutch transmission working in collaboration with Hoerbiger, who manage the hydraulic and electronic aspects of this unit; A front wheel drive sequential gearbox for Diesel racing cars, with application across Petrol series, which has been started in collaboration with Alfa, primarily for the JTD CUP and now is going ahead with OPEL PERFORMANCE CENTER.<o
></o><o
></o>An automated, fast change motorcycle gear system and other interesting projects like an electronicly controlled CVT for hybrid and electric vehicles.<o
></o><o
></o>Wanni is available for consultations on all matters transmission and powertrain related. Just contact Gearfox for more details.
