The first application of a double clutch system is in the new Audi TT V6 which they call DSG.
The transmission is a Ricardo, hence the name Ricardo, who are the same people that supply the 6 speed sequential used in the Audi R8 racecar.
Oh, the word on the street is the ME412 is going to see limited production of 300 units/year starting in 2006. This is supposedly a prototype and not a concept.

It IS manually activated via steering wheel paddle shifters but it also has an auto mode for lazy driving. It just doesn't have a clutch pedal so it is not "foot activated" :p
Would you call all F1, SMG, etc clutchless transmissions automatics? Is the Enzo an automatic?

If it doesn't have a clutch that you have to engage and disengage to manually shift it, yes. How bout we settle on semi-automatic since that would be a more fitting description for the Enzo, SMG, F1, Ricardo.
