It's also called seamless shifting. Most F1 (if not all, now) use double clutch transmissions. the ME Twelve uses a double clutch transmission and gets 200ms shift times with a semi-automatic shifter. Plus, you can't have a double clutch in a manual. If Mitsubishi does it right, the semi-automatic double clutch transmission will be much better and more fun than a manual.
sounds like a lot of fun but a whole boatload of money to upgrade and/or repair
