It's essentially a dual-clutch transmission, but instead of relying on the paddles for manual shifts, it uses a shift-by-wire gear lever and a clutch-by-wire pedal to recreate the experience of driving a manual.
From the explanation, it sounds like they've gone to great lengths to make it feel authentic, right down to being able to stall the car. I'm really intrigued by the concept, especially with Euro 7 likely encouraging manufacturers to adopt taller overdrive ratios for emissions compliance. It seems like a smart way of preserving the three-pedal driving experience, while still keeping those economy-focused overdrive gears available when driving in automatic mode.
The tech sounds too complex to trickle into more everyday cars, but hopefully Porsche explores something similar in the future, particularly for its GT cars.
