MYSTERIOUS: Porsche is working on an automatic that pretends to be a manual | Mind Blowing Facts

  • The system has three configurations: traditional automatic, sequential shifting, and full manual mode with a clutch.
  • Porsche’s new patent expands on an earlier one detailing a shift-by-wire gear selector.
