More gears means smaller gears. Tq eats up smaller gears like mad so keeping with a 5 speed will generally mean it will last longer. Also, with high tq you don't really need as many gears as you don't have to jump around as much to keep it in a narrow power band.

More gears doesn't mean better.

it is a pointless car, which is supposed to have "a little bit" off road ability and cant go fast either on-road or off-road. i rather use 400000 euro to make me a money jacket. that will be better
