I am pretty sure the Veyron uses a double clutch trans. You can creadit a lot of the advanced trans goodies to F1. I hear that Ferrari maybe is working on what they call a "seamless shift" transmission or something like that? I guess the hundred's of a second it takes an F1 tranny to bang into the next gear is not fast enough.



Very cool car though.


What happens if you flip it over?
