Porsche simulated manual transmission patent

Overview

Porsche has filed a patent for a dual-clutch transmission system designed to simulate the tactile experience of a traditional manual gearbox. The technology, which can be applied to both hybrid and internal combustion vehicles, utilizes a shift-by-wire selector to offer three distinct modes: a standard automatic mode, a sequential mode using paddles or a lever, and a full manual mode.

The manual mode is intended to mimic traditional shifting patterns through a multi-stable gear selector and a third pedal acting as a clutch. In this configuration, electronic sensors transmit driver inputs to a computer to recreate the behavior of a mechanical transmission. This development aligns with technological trends from competitors like Ferrari and Koenigsegg that use software to replicate manual driving sensations within automatic frameworks.
