Xtrac Limited, also known as Xtrac Transmission Technology, is a British engineering company founded in 1984 by the former Hewland engineer Mike Endean to make 4WD systems and gearboxes for rallycross and later rally and racing cars. Endean, together with Chris Goddard, who had been working on the electronic components essential to the system, in 1983 developed the first Xtrac 4WD system, for Norwegian rallycross star Martin Schanche. Schanche had thought up the idea of a changeable hydraulic 4WD system (his 1984 ERC winning Ford Escort Mk3 Xtrac-Zakspeed had a stepless FWD:RWD ratio of 28:72 to 50:50) and financed its development. This 560bhp so-called Xtrac No. 1 was bought by Endean, in the mid-1990s, who raced it himself for many a year in carsprints and hillclimbs.

  • Xtrac Limited, también conocida como Xtrac Transmission Technology, es una empresa de ingeniería británica fundada en 1984 por el ex ingeniero de Hewland Mike Endean para fabricar sistemas de tracción a las cuatro ruedas (4x4) y cajas de cambios para rallycross y, posteriormente, coches de rally y de carreras. Endean, junto con Chris Goddard, que había estado trabajando en los componentes electrónicos esenciales para el sistema, desarrolló en 1983 el primer sistema Xtrac 4x4, para la estrella noruega del rallycross , quien había pensado en la idea de un sistema 4x4 hidráulico intercambiable (su Ford Escort Mk3 Xtrac-Zakspeed, ganador del Campeonato de Europa de Rallycross en 1984, tenía una relación continuamente variable entre ejes tractores [Delantero:Trasero] desde 28:72 hasta 50:50) y financió su desarrollo. Este coche de 560 caballos de potencia, denominado Xtrac No. 1, fue comprado por Endean a mediados de la década de 1990, quien lo pilotó durante muchos años en pruebas de esprint y de montaña. "Xtrac comenzó a fabricar cajas de cambios a mediados del final de la década de 1980 para los entonces nuevos coches de rally del Grupo A desde sus instalaciones originales en Wokingham, y luego continuó haciéndolo después de mudarse en 1986 a una nueva fábrica de 20 000 pies cuadrados (1858 m²) en Finchampstead". ​ En 2000, Xtrac construyó una fábrica de alta tecnología a medida de 88 000 pies cuadrados (8175 m²) en Thatcham, Berkshire, Inglaterra, y actualmente suministra componentes a muchos sectores de alto nivel del deporte del motor, incluidos monoplazas de F1, prototipos y GT, IndyCar, Grand-AM, coches de rally y turismo. En 2010, la compañía suministró su caja de cambios completa 1044 (diseñada y desarrollada en solo seis meses), a tres equipos de F1: Lotus, Virgin y HRT. La caja estaba acoplada al motor Cosworth CA2010.​ Xtrac también es socio oficial para las cajas de cambios del equipo de Fórmula 1 Mercedes AMG Petronas desde la temporada 2010. Además de abastecer a muchos clientes de deportes del motor de alto perfil, Xtrac se ha expandido en otras áreas, como la automoción, la marina y la aeroespacial. El Pagani Huayra usaba la transmisión Xtrac 1007 AMT. En 2020 se anunció que Xtrac suministraría cajas de cambios como parte de la unidad de potencia para el deportivo híbrido de resistencia Le Mans Daytona h con Bosch, suministrando la unidad generadora y Williams Advanced Engineering suministrando las baterías.

"Xtrac started making gearboxes in the mid to late 1980s for the then-new Group A rally cars from their original premises in Wokingham and then continued to do so after moving in 1986 to a new 20,000 sq ft factory in Finchampstead." In 2000, Xtrac built a bespoke 88,000 sq ft high tech factory in Thatcham, Berkshire, England, and is currently supplying many top level sectors of motor sport, including F1, prototype and GT sportscars, IndyCar, Grand-AM, rally cars and touring cars. In 2010 the company supplied its complete 1044 gearbox, designed and developed in only six months to three F1 teams: Lotus, Virgin and HRT. This is mated to the Cosworth CA2010 engine. In addition to supplying many high-profile motorsport customers, Xtrac has expanded in other areas such as automotive, marine and aerospace. The Pagani Huayra was a vehicle which used the Xtrac 1007 AMT transmission. In 2019 it was announced that Xtrac would be the sole supplier of gearboxes for the US based NASCAR Championship, this was due to start in 2021 but with Covid-19 restrictions being in place this was delayed until 2022 In 2020 it was announce that Xtrac would supply gearboxes as part of the hybrid power unit for the Le Mans Daytona h endurance hybrid sport car with Bosch supplying the moter generator unit and Williams Advanced Engineering supplying the batteries.
