Here is a video showing the rev limiter on the 488. It s broken into 3 segments. 1: WOT w manual shifting. 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7 all hit the rev limiter at 7450-7500 ...
I think this can be concluded that when the shifting can be predicted(like
in auto mode) the transmission can be better protected, so it shifts at
7800rpm. How ever ,when shifts manually, computer cannot predict the time
you shift, so it might cause damage if the transmitting respond to paddles
immediately at 7800rpm, So it is designed to limit the rpm to a lower value
of 7500rpm to prevent the damage.
BTW, Ferrari does not produce gear box. And Getrag DCT might not survive
from 750nm of torque, that's also the reason why the max torque only shows
at 7th gear and the reason of why laferrari accelerates slower in real life
than the figures indicates.
Also, there are a lot of reports of 458's DCT lose gears in China, like
losing 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th gears(there are many owners complain about
this issue), which shows that this DCT is not that reliable for such a fast
shifting in 458s(which is another potential reason of 488's disconnected
shifting). I don't know if this happen in Europe and america.
:) these are just my estimations. I don't own a Ferrari, but i do read a
lot of ferrari news and reports :D (Sorry for my poor grammar)
This is really stupid, redline starts at 8k rpm, but the limiter is set at
7500. And it's like this on every 488 GTB video, so I assume, it was made
like this deliberately.
