Sorry didn’t spot this- it’s not quite true, from my understanding. The ZF box couldn’t handle any more torque so what the engine could produce was moot, they switched back to the six and three quarter with a Neolithic but hugely strong 4l80e and immediately set a record for torque production in a passenger car.
