Specialy if the gearbox is made to be used as a structural part of the chassis like Koenigsegg is doing or symply, like Apollo Gumpert is doing, it is so strong to not have any need to be supported at all. It is just bolted on the bell housing area and that's it and it works even with the huge ammount of torque avalaible.
