Bugatti Veyron

[thom]

I read in some French mag it has 2 clutches: one for gears 1-3-5 and one for gears 2-4-6.
(so to provide a continuous delivery of power)
Can anyone explain how can this work?

I saw that it has paddle operated gear change and that the hydraulically operated clutches are automatic (thankfully, even though I know I've got two left feet !!!). I can only assume that when you operate a paddle, the car can preselect the next gear before disengaging the clutch from the gear you are already in and then engage the second clutch. Sounds like a beast!!!

If you get one can we come and play in it?
