Sound effects include the roar of the modern era engines which realistically represent their real - life counterparts as they shift up and down through
the gears during acceleration and under braking, while sounding even better than F1 2016 since the re-designed cars made their debut in the 2017 season with subtle differences in the engine notes between each of the cars depending upon their respective power and engine supplier, alongside the authenticity of the classic era cars.
But the changes don't stop there — there have also been revisions made to the electronically - controlled four - speed automatic transmission (E-AT) to reduce mechanical losses, while the transmission lock - up range has been expanded in third and fourth
gear during acceleration and steady - state running; lock - up has also been added to these ratios under deceleration.

acceleration, but the automatic transmission shifts smartly and does a good job of holding
gears on uphill grades to help the car maintain a consistent speed.
Under
acceleration the mild hybrid system provides up to 10kW of electric power assistance to the powertrain in «motor» mode, while in «generator» mode, the system harvests kinetic energy from the vehicle
during in -
gear deceleration and braking and uses the power to recharge the batteries.

gear - shifting point control system that switches the AI - SHIFT uphill / downhill control and electronic throttle non-linear characteristics to the settings most suitable for towing, in addition to automatically downshifting
during acceleration even when the brakes are applied

acceleration feel with the engine's Active Sound Control (ASC) system.
As a result, the Sports Coupé is even livelier
during acceleration - both in -
gear and though -

The transmission system utilizes
gear drive when starting from a full stop, resulting in powerful
acceleration, while at the same time, resolving the momentary sluggish feeling that was previously present
during accelerator operation.
The CVT provides a smooth, uninterrupted power delivery under relaxed, normal
acceleration, but then simulates
