Well i didn't lost it for Mondeo, but you never know how it would be with Mazda. Anyhow with such change you do not modify original software, but just activate a map, which is suitable for this engine (see our VIN parts discussion)

By mapping, of course there is. I said that earlier
Well this is applicable for most of cars, but I want avoid situation, that self-nominated-specialist will make a map for me. I rather like to use a stock option, which possibly I'd be able to activate myself from Forscan.By mapping, of course there is. I said that earlier
The standard torque is 550NM, so 700NM is not a huge increase if that figure is attainable as manufacturers always build in a certain and often large amount of tolerance. We are only talking 50BHP if not a little more as well, so around what 25% increase in power at best? Automatic boxes are inherently stronger than manual ones as well. ZF boxes that other manufacturers use are capable of over 1000NM of torque, so I think saying 'clutch' based boxes are capable of huge increases is a bit of a generalisation.
These figures are all hypothetical as its not been done yet. When a good mapper is able to put it on the rollers, we can start to see how the engine and gearbox performs. the gearbox 'may' need a remap also to utilise the power delivery, but I am confident someone like Celtic Tuning would be able to produce smoother results than Mazda's map.
I'm confident in Mazdas in engineering that it will cope with the small increase in power..but as ever with new cars and new engines/boxes, the leaders will learn the lessons first so that the followers can tread more carefully
Mazda also come from a 'tuning' history with their cars from the MPS subsection and the MX5 and RX7 and RX8, they wont just make something that can only cope with the 'issued' amount of power as they know people tune their cars, its been a big part of their history.Does the PHEV not use the same gearbox?
The PHEV does use the Same gearbox - why do you think the PHEV is limited to 500 NM?These figures are all hypothetical as its not been done yet.

The CX-60 is not made for tuning - a lot of Japanese tried stuff and the CX-60 is the first one where everything is locked down and Mazda also uses a technology where everything has to be signed by the Mazda servers or the ECU will reject it. (That has been developed by Bosch, it uses the same systems as Mercedes and BMW.)
550 - 700 are 28%. The increase in power is irrelevant. Things break because of torque. And ZF has their fair share of broken transmissions, not only that, they also have different transmissions. You can't put 800 NM on the "smallest" one. It's also not a generalisation, if you take simple mechanics in to account.
I don't believe anyone said it was a ZF transmission. Its certainly far too clunky to be a ZF box
