The Toyota LFA, Audi R8 V8. There are more, but I'm too lazy to do your work for you.

[QUOTE=dotdotdotPaul;1221853]I don't think this is true.

The RX-8 with an automatic had 30hp less than the manual. The reason was because the redline on the automatic was at 7500rpm -- the limit a 'slushbox' could handle. The manual, on the other hand, redlined at 9000rpm.

The supercars with "automatics" these days are almost certainly automated manuals (whether twin clutch or not).

I'm willing to be proven wrong on this, but will require specific evidence -- what supercar do you think is using a traditional planetary gearbox automatic transmission?
