Our AT is called A960e, it is used in the IS250 and several other cars, and the max torque it can handle is 300nm/221ft⋅lb Only!*
The other issue is that the options to beef it up is almost none existing.

I am fully aware of the transmission and capabilities,
The MT is rated is at about 185ft lbs but many people handle much more with out issue. same with the AT rated at 220ft lbs but people are running 300ft lbs no problem. What its rated at and what it can actually handle are far different. and many different factors contribute to this. which means its also rated at 35ft lbs more then the MTs. Which is a good amount of power when applied at higher rpm.
Also plenty of options to upgrade/Beef it up, SSP makes clutch packs that will handle 400 ft lbs, also numerous valve bodies and a high stall torque converter. Many other companies like IPT also make things for our transmission like valve bodies and even a fully built trans ready to go. A trans cooler is another easy good option that will help extend the life of the transmission when making more power and driving it harder.
I installed a custom made transmission cooler and i installed ssp stage 2 valve body. it handled 220ft lbs no problem before those and now even easier after.
