Hmmm... I could recreate that video with any old Hyundai Getz in a shopping centre car park if we're just talking about lifting off the gas as you pull the next gear. To call it a true "clutchless" trans is a bit of a stretch. Until you see the maintenance schedule and critical clutch settings of a genuine drag racing clutchless trans like the G-Force GF2000, you can't appreciate what a pain they most be to deal with. Then again, to cope with in excess of 2500hp at the tyres and allow genuine full throttle upshifts, they have to be pretty special.

Now having said that, a helical, non-synchro, dog gear trans seems like a really nice compromise for a stout street car. Let's wait for the pricing...
