What’s the best transmission? A dual clutch transmission might come to mind due to their lightning quick shifts, but there's another transmission that can allow you to go even faster.

What makes it so good? Well a CVT can choose any gear ratio within its range at any given time, and it can constantly change that gear ratio.
