Deep dive: How Koenigsegg reinvented the manual transmission for the CC850

Koenigsegg's latest hypercar features an automatic transmission that can transform into a manual complete with a clutch pedal.

, but with a new Engage Shifter System that makes the automatic transmission transform into a 6-speed manual . ThisFirst, the mechanical differences. the ESS gearbox has a clutch pedal like a conventional manual, but it's by-wire, and instead of one clutch, the ESS has seven. These clutches handle gear selection, eliminating the need for shifter forks and synchros. It also lacks a flywheel, so the engine connects directly to the transmission.The clutches are spread out across two shafts.

The ratio that corresponds to each gear number can also change depending on the drive mode. For example, in track mode the transmission will start out with second gear's ratio as first, but then switch to third gear's ratio once you get going. That effectively tightens up the ratio spread without having to physically swap out gears.
