The technology initially only been used in F1 racing and high-end sports cars, such as: Ferrari, Maserati, etc. the purpose is the pursuit of simple and convenient operation, faster shift speeds. However, due to the popularity of motor sports, the rapid development of vehicle technology, and the pursuit of sports cars, paddle shift technology has been equipped on civilian models.
F1 racing beginning with a manual gearbox, with paddles is seamless because later transmission, manual transmission gearbox and seamless essentiallyDistinction, a seamless transmission is a clutch gear, all gears manual transmission is a common clutch, clutch seamless electro-mechanical transmission controlled by a shift in milliseconds, is very fast. And beneath the paddles are clutch, pull the clutch gear must be pulling in F1, the driver only once to use the clutch, that is, when starting, manually pull the clutch. For civilian vehicle, usually double-clutch, is a simplified version of the seamless gearbox, with paddle was fast enough to be meaningful.
