@@leme3503 ....though i'm not a Koenigsegg fan, but arguments about designs need more than just eyes...its logical capability. & we all can see which one you need the most.
This is the gearbox that car enthusiasts having been dreaming of since we got behind the wheel for the first time.... you are truly inspiring and the epitome of a petrolhead to be innovating constantly and consistently since the birth of the company... Legendary!!
Can't stop watching videos on this car. I think the man has actually managed to save the manuals. Some of the most significant progress in sports cars has come from this firm. Long live Koenigsegg.
Saved manual transmissions single-handedly. Right... Surely I don't have to tell you or anyone else that In the end its up to the consumers voting with their wallet, but ok. Current day, manual transmission seems reserved for purists and enthusiasts so don't get ur hopes up. Someone please explain how making 50 cars by hand is considered a production car? Is 50 makes right on the edge of what is considered a production car or what? I love how open he is about the naming the model in reference to his 50th birthday as well. I'm not hating, but it comes across narcissistic the way he brought it. How hard can it be to come up with a name that honors the CC8S without mentioning the amount that gets produced and the company owners' birthday? He's not even 50 yet! This promo video is almost like a comedy sketch. Love the aesthetics and can't wait to never drive it.
@@vergaerd other companies can use the design from this manual system and integrate it into normal road cars that are in a reasonable price range. Happens with most innovative performance parts, they get adapted for daily driving
@@vergaerd the system seemed to be developed to reach emissions and other regulations, so as the regulations get more strict in the future, the manual can be preserved with this system, and other systems like the Toyota manual transmission on electric cars
@@No-vq1iv Does it matter really? If it feels like a manual and behaves like a manual on both the cluth pedal and the shifter, this is absolute perfection. Imagine you could pleay with the "manual" gear ratios. That is something beyond imagination and hats of to Koenigsegg for once again taking a sports car couple of levels up.
@@najty I truly believe that this technology, if used and improved upon for future cars that are available to the working man, could be even BETTER than a manual, imagine flipping a switch to change your ratios or being able to toggle a stiffness setting for your clutch and even shifter. People could make it exactly how they want. This is so so so SO exciting for me as a car enthusiast that just lovesss manuals!!!!!!!
@@najty Yes it does matter, this is no different than the stupid speakers Audi and Chrysler put on their EV's to mimic gasoline engine sounds. When people say they want a coupe, it means they want a coupe. When they say they want an all-wheel-drive, it means they want an all-wheel-drive. And when they say they want a car with a manual transmission it means they want a manual bloody transmission, not a CVT or sequential with an H-shifter, why is this so hard to understand? What is the point of deceiving buyers like this? Did they really think they wouldn't find rich idiots to spend 3 million dollars on this car because it's not manual? It's pointless and stupid, Koenigsegg dropped the ball here.
Man, that manual with a clutch to a 9 speed automatic is really mind blowing had chills watching the whole vid as a fan of koenigsegg since the start. Well done!
Dear Mr. Koenigsegg. I know the company and the cars since 2002, was lucky enough to visit the factory in 2005, being shown around by your lovely wife herself as a 15 year old fanboy. Now I'm 32 years old and you never fail to impress me! What an absolute legend, looking forward to the next 20 years! ❤️
This video isn't about you, not a sole cares how old you are, t you know, or that you visited the factory this isn't you channel its not remotely intereting to anyone but you
@@slowery43 wats your problem, this persons comment is hurting no one, koenigsegg makes this person happy and he is sharing a happy memory. You have specifically gone out of your way to shit on this person and what makes them happy..thats sad and pathetic
I've officially added "Drive in a Koenigsegg car" to my bucket list. I don't even care if it's in the passenger seat! These cars are works of art. More so than any other car on the market IMO.
I legit had tears when he said "Saving manuals for the future". This is everything that a true petrolhead needs in his life in the era where ICE's are dying with manuals and the fact that they are eco friendly with bio fuels. A huge congratulations to Koenigsegg and its team for achieving this marvel.
@@northernhemisphere4906 This is true, most biofuels do in fact reduce co2 emissions (by about 30 percent) but to make them costs so many resources that they are environmentally damaging. However, research is still ongoing. Fossil fuels = environmentally damaging no matter what, biofuel = potential to be less environmentally damaging. Source: I work as a consultant in sustainable mobility.
Its hard to believe how young Koenigsegg is, they have been perfect since day one. They are a Supreme class to hyper cars. I almost mistook the 20 yo one for the new one. Thats how much ahead of their time they were.
Ok. That dashboard. Just that. This is amazing just because it has a real analogue beautiful dashboard and not just a crappy digital one like the rest of brands nowadays. Another piece of art from Koenigsegg. This man brings pure joy and pleasure to the car community. Thank you and happy 50th anniversary Mr. Koenigsegg!
Supercars generally don’t do the “modern” design facades and gimmicks as they try to keep their cars timeless (look at Bugatti and old Ferrari etc). Having a screen in the car could make it look tacky 50 years down the line for example.
I am so happy for Christian and his People at Koenigsegg, and wish them all the very best, it is well deserved. A side note, they are at the forefront of new technology and the fact you have a choice of a 9-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual in the same gearbox is mind blowing! Kudos to you guys
@@JT-oz7yn from what I understand there is only a 9 speed auto transmission. The cockpit controles are basically a sim racing rig that emulates manual transmission.
@@jjuhring1 what do you enderstand then ? I understand your mecanical action on the lever triggers a robotised gearbox and actuators gives you a feedback that feels like gear change or clutch engagement.
@@simonrano8072 Thats what i understood as well. The computer controls the gears in the automatic transmission based on the feedback from the "manual" transmission. But the manual transmission is not physically connected to the automatic transmission.
this is actually insane what they've managed to pull off here, I don't know how they do it but whatever they do is just perfect and they somehow keep improving upon what's already perfect without compromising anything. Hats off to you Christian and all the team at Koenigsegg and congratulations on the 20th Anniversary!
@Andy Cooke yup it definitely does but the main factor is the passion and hunger for innovation, to create something new and revolutionary. Many other companies have way more money and are almost a century older than Koenigsegg, but Koenigsegg are the only ones coming up with crazy stuff like this
@@northernhemisphere4906 what regulations? since when did we start having regulations for these type of gearboxes? I'm mainly talking about the gearbox here when I mention the "innovation", they made a gearbox that can operate both fully automatically and like a traditional manual, has different number of gears for both, has different gear ratios in different modes, and can deliver 1300+ hp smoothly. And even other than the gearbox, they developed an engine which has no turbo lag, which is not as big of a deal as the gearbox but still worth mentioning.
This is just magnificent. Didn't know about this presentation and it's a great tribute for the 20th anniversary of the CC8S. But what I wasn't expecting at all was this revival of the manual ... with a bang! Not only is this maybe the only hypercar I can think of that comes with a manual transmission but it also innovates it further, with the total 9 gears available into the typical 6-speed configuration, so that you can have different ratios based on the use case. If I got it right it will still feature the typical auto mode which means it's a win-win situation, you'll be able to choose how you want to drive it without giving up on anything. I'm enthusiastic about this new breeze of manual transmissions, especially for the hypercar segment. I hope this will inspire more auto makers to follow Koenigsegg's lead. I'm all for these new innovations such as bio-fuels and even full electricity, though without renouncing to a good old manual which, in this case, is also a really evolved and refined version of it. It's proof manual can co-exist with the latest tech. Thanks Christian and team for understanding how vital manual is for us petrolheads. 💛💙
@@LostSectorOnline I don't think you understand a thing about engineering. Koenigsegg IS technological marvel. Just because teslas are electric, doesn't mean that their motors have the most complex technologies.
@@LostSectorOnline there is nothing innovative about Tesla LOL. Electric cars are an old concept if you do your research. It has been done several times through out history. You don’t even know the difference between engine and motor.
I put so much love and appreciation to Koenigsegg and the team behind him. He almost made my cry when he said *“created from blood sweat and tears from a VERY little crew of people,”* this is a man’s dream and embodiment of what a “teamwork makes dream work” truly is. It only took 20 years from this small group of people to stand up against bigger and older motorsport companies. It is such a marvelous job from a guy who started everything from nothing to something.
@@dansiva1870 Okay and? Your right, you can figure out what car Is what. It is intact an EV, however they're still trying to appeal by doing the muffler. I'd say the Hornet is more disappointing than the EV Concept.
Your team’s abilities, knowledge, and willingness to push the envelope while staying dedicated to the enthusiast experience is so inspiring. Making history one step at a time. Absolutely love it
This man is actually my idol, he never gave up on making his dreams of making real megacars and made it come true. Big respect. Excited to see the jesko top speed record.
Congratulation to both 20 & 50 years celebration, as a Swede I'm so proud over your extreme progress you have been able to achive. Give your self a big tap on your own shoulder, and once again super big hip hip hurrah for you and the Koenigegg !!!!
It’s one thing to make a fast car out of high quality materials, it’s another to completely push the boundaries of engineering ENTIRELY in house with a small team. This guy is a living legend. I just hope to see and hear one of these cars in person someday!
The transmission is awesome, manual and automatic. With different gear ratios depending on whether you're on the road or on the track. They again reinvented the wheel, what a company!
I didn't know and I was about to close that part of the video. I mean I was impressed, and ready to search more for the car. Glad I watched until the end of it. Man is a beast!
Wouldn't it be cool if this particular Koenigsegg was to be put into the new TDU game? It's probably not happening, as there's only about half a year until release, but I wish it would.
@@xzrex6908 Koenigsegg comes with brant new Technologies for each car bugatti just makes the Engine a bit bigger for each car nothing speciel att all with bugatti.
Honestly, the most surprising thing about this for me is that Koeniggsegg managed to build a clutch that can handle being slammed with almost 1400 hp. Like, I don’t even know what demon Christian had to sell his soul to to get that clutch alone made, let alone the engine or transmission, which are both equally astonishing pieces of engineering. Also, happy 50th to Christian. God I hope he has 50 more in him.
Bruuhh this transmission don't use or need any clutch, that's the magic in it, the power is transfered almost like an electric! 💪💪 Also that's why you can go for o from any gear to the other! Also that's why is so light! Koenigsegg 💪💪
The first supercar I ever saw was a Koenigsegg CC8S, when I was 5, at Top Gear, now I'm 16 and seeing my childhood dream car come back again is insane, thank you so much Koenigsegg.
These guys are mad geniuses. Every new car they come up with has some revolutionary, way outside-the-box drivetrain and still crush it with performance and beauty to boot.
Koenigsegg is just in another dimension! Just when you think they’ve pushed the envelope beyond the limit! They blast past that limit! Absolutely unreal! Congrats on 20 years Koenigsegg & Congrats on 50 years Christian!
cc850 is perfect. it's gorgeous. it literally has all the feels, everything that was in cc8s, but it still looks new, with the new vibe. definitely the best comeback car I've ever seen
Love the new car, looks great and has the technology to go with the looks. The gearbox is amazing with the different track and road ratios. The people at Koenigsegg are truly amazing. The tech that you utilize in you art truly is out of this world. Happy early birthday Christian. Happy 20th to Koenigsegg as a company as well. Hope the manual and the gearbox stay for a while and hope that you continue to build cars that are way ahead of their time.
Congratulations! Can’t believe it’s been that long since I first got introduced to the company on Top Gear! The industry really needs passionate people like you! Beautiful car, and amazing engineering, as always!
I don't think I've ever heard a more detailed presentation from any car manufacturers when showcasing their brand new product. Shows how passionate Christian is with his company. Respect +++
You really feel the love and enthusiasm that went in to building that car. If I can feel it from the video and his words I wonder what it feels like touching the car. Koenigsegg reminds us again that a car should be seen as a piece of art. good going Christian. And thank you for keeping the dream alive.
I actually made a correct prediction about their next move with LST lol. When I first learned about the LST and how it's work, I thought that with the capabilities of LST, it's a no brainer to make a simulated manual transmission. And they are actually going to make it and put it in their cars now. Best of the both world, road and track. Massive congratulation and happy 50th birthday Christian.
@@srinitaaigaura I know, it's just at that time I just thought if they simulate the LST like a manual gearbox with the software alone, that's in itself will be a gamechanger. But, Koenigsegg just being Koenigsegg, went beyond that. Just mind-blown. I just watched MrJWW video about this car, and the sound when he blip the throttle was super responsive like a race car. It's unbelievable.
@@Nick-kv3pv based on my understanding, they used the same LST from the Jesko, so the clutching and variable ratio selection is done by software. But, the trigger for the clutching and selecting ratio is done by using the clutch pedal and a gated gear lever to simulate the analog feeling and engagement of traditional manual transmission. The drive will feel connected, but technically not. If they make it truly connected, the size and the weight of the transmission will significantly increase as more component will be added into the transmission. But based on the video, the LST in the car still use solenoids for the clutches, so they are not mechanically connected.
@@budokpantai I think you're right in that gear selection is done "by-wire" but as far as I can tell from the video the clutch is hydraulically actuated and connected to the rear in order to have the real feedback and stalling ability. I suppose it is still a compromise but it's not really akin to the simulated manuals that Toyota is talking about doing 100% in software at all.
That is absolutely awesome. Keeping the manual and integrating it with an auto I thought was impossible. Hats off to Koenigsegg for not caving to ditching real engines like Dodge and others are doing
Most of these changes aren’t wanted by these companies, it’s true of they don’t comply they’ll go extinct, if you can’t beat the system join the system
@@timetraveler_0 The major difference is you're in direct control of the clutch with the pedal. "Manual Mode" automatics are still in control at all times and won't let you stall out.
This one instantly went straight to the top of any car list. I always wanted someone to advance the manual transmission. You did it,you paved the future. Thank you.
you sound you like truly believe others want to or need to know what "you want", as though anyone would be remotely interested in you... crazy. This isnt the "what does MM think" channel we coulsn't care any less
@@slowery43 @Hoagers and you sound lonely,like nobody is truly interested in you. I worked for Ferrari,Maserati,and Lamborghini,also Audi headquarters...I drive multiple Porsche's,own multiple business.. I'm one of the best in the game when it comes to analyzing stocks via technical analysis. I have ppl every day,throughout the day asking me for my opinion on things regarding markets. You're just a wack troll that is having a bad day and talked out your ass.
Happy 20th Anniversary to the Team and CVK, times have moved ahead and you've always been ahead of those times whilst remaining passionate and true to the enthusiasts as well as the past. Congratulations!
Absolutely mind blowing, never had that much goosebumps watching a car premiere. Im out of my mind, I don't know who can relate to me but as a car mechanic and a long term fan of Koenigsegg I don't know how to describe what I just watched. Hughe respect to you Christian.
Absolutely amazing yet again. The innovation and engineering is certainly like no other. Mad props for reinventing the manual trans, it enhances the driving experience tenfold. Now I have to go watch puppy videos to bring my blood pressure down. Happy 50th!
no aggressive aero or anything, its beautiful, also a proper fully circular steering wheel which is rare in the modern days and ofc the transmission this car is perfect
Very interesting gearbox solution! It's extremely cool to see that they are responding to the gear heads on the market and adding another dream car to the wall! Koenigsegg makes me proud to be a swed!
If I ever have a chance to afford one of these cars, I'm buying it simply because of the passion this man and his team puts into these vehicles. The fact that it's stupid fast and gorgeous is a sweet bonus. Appreciate the ingenuity and heritage of your brand, can't wait to see more of this beast!
wow its incredible to see how far this car company has come. i was 15 when i learned about koenigsegg and ever since ive absolutly loved their cars. Happy B-day to you and Happy aniversary to a car company that is paving the way for others to follow.
Christian, you remain my favorite maker because of how genuine you are. You don't sit in an ivory tower, and it's like your cars are designed for you first, customers second, resulting in a culture around your brand that can't really be replicated.
I am so impressed with this "Lets Take It Back to Our Roots!" Beautiful Car. After having such beautiful other cars with a lot going on on the exterior like the Jesko, they come out with this to show us that not only can they appreciate their own heritage, but also do so with a "Less is More" vibe that gives off that type of Simple Beauty!
I have been in love with yours cars for 20yrs, I have never even seen one in person, I'm a retired Vet and know I will never get to own one. But that has not changed my love. Amazing job I love you cars and happy birthday. Enjoy the day and stay safe.
Wow. I fell in love with koenigsegg ever since I laid my eyes on the CC8S and CCX. This is just the perfect car. I’ve always wondered why no one made a transmission like that and I hoped I could make one like that. But now you guys have. Thank you for making the car that introduced me to the universe of cars and thank you for being the best car manufacturer out there👊
Another beautiful piece of machinery by Koenigsegg. I got to know this car from a game in 2004. Never stopped following Chris since then. What a legend.
When I was a Child I always wanted a car with 3 pedal with a shift, but could also turn as a fully auto gearbox, 20 , years later someone finaly did it
Congratulations on this automotive marvel!! The gearbox technology is impressive and needs to be tried! I love all the productions of the brand because even if I can't afford to buy one, at least you have the merit of making me dream like a child! And for that I congratulate you! Thanks
Absolutely amazing! Really excited to see where this style of Manual trans goes as time goes on and tech gets better. Congrats on 50 and here's to another 20 years of Koenigsegg!
I probably never be able to afford a car like this, but I'm immensely appreciate the effort, creativity and innovation they put into every new car they create.
It's a 6 speed manual with different gear ratios depending on mode the car is in AND 9 speed auto? WOW! Having the choice between a manual and auto is incredible but the gear ratios changing on the manual is just another level!
It's not really manual. It's fake manual. The gearbox is fully automatic. When you switch to manual, the clutch and shifter are just sending a signal to it, same as paddles do. It's the same as paddle shift, just with a fake clutch pedal and shifter..
@@gstylez0107 If it gives the feel of a 6 speed, and has unique gearing for it, its a manual. The fact that it can be driven as an auto does not affect the purity of the car in any way. If anything, it is an added convenience.
@@MiserableAmerica No, it's not. It's literally being shifted through an electronic signal, no different than any other triptronic shift transmission. That's literally NOT a manual. There is no mechanical linkage from the clutch or shift knob, it's all electronic. That's no more a manual than any other triptronic paddle shifted car.. If this is manual then so is every other paddle shift car.. They did nothing different here other than sell a bullshit gimmick. It's a triptronic shift transmission with a fake clutch pedal and shifter so idiots can pretend like they're driving a manual trans, controlling a clutch and shifter that literally does nothing but add unnecessary steps in order to shift, all so they can feel nostalgic.. It's for dipshits with more money than sense. Seriously, it makes absolutely no sense to press a clutch pedal down when it serves no other purpose than to fool the driver into thinking they're driving a true manual.. It's adding to shift time, limiting performance by adding useless steps when all the transmission uses to shift is an electronic signal, a literal digital button press.. "Saved the future of the manual trans" ..What a joke. They just put it on life support...
When it come to attention to detail nobody beats Koenigsegg. Their cars are about as close to automotive perfection as you could ever get. They make Lamborghini and Ferrari look like a Suzuki if you ask me.
I am going crazy, this manual might bring the og's. My awe for koenigsegg's creativity nd technical prowess will never ever end. Respect sir Chirstian nd the team at koenigsegg
It has the analog feel of a manual. That's what Christian said. It's an automatic transmission with digital controls made to resemble manual transmissions.

The new era of manual transmission is here. This is absolutely insane mechanical engineering. Congratulations Koenigsegg!
Not sure any of you understand the concept of manual transmission. This isn't manual.
@@No-vq1iv Does it matter really? If it feels like a manual and behaves like a manual on both the cluth pedal and the shifter, this is absolute perfection. Imagine you could pleay with the "manual" gear ratios. That is something beyond imagination and hats of to Koenigsegg for once again taking a sports car couple of levels up.
@@najty I truly believe that this technology, if used and improved upon for future cars that are available to the working man, could be even BETTER than a manual, imagine flipping a switch to change your ratios or being able to toggle a stiffness setting for your clutch and even shifter. People could make it exactly how they want. This is so so so SO exciting for me as a car enthusiast that just lovesss manuals!!!!!!!
@@najty Yes it does matter, this is no different than the stupid speakers Audi and Chrysler put on their EV's to mimic gasoline engine sounds. When people say they want a coupe, it means they want a coupe. When they say they want an all-wheel-drive, it means they want an all-wheel-drive. And when they say they want a car with a manual transmission it means they want a manual bloody transmission, not a CVT or sequential with an H-shifter, why is this so hard to understand? What is the point of deceiving buyers like this? Did they really think they wouldn't find rich idiots to spend 3 million dollars on this car because it's not manual? It's pointless and stupid, Koenigsegg dropped the ball here.

Supercars generally don’t do the “modern” design facades and gimmicks as they try to keep their cars timeless (look at Bugatti and old Ferrari etc). Having a screen in the car could make it look tacky 50 years down the line for example.

I am so happy for Christian and his People at Koenigsegg, and wish them all the very best, it is well deserved. A side note, they are at the forefront of new technology and the fact you have a choice of a 9-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual in the same gearbox is mind blowing! Kudos to you guys
and a 6 speed manual with varying gear ratios for street/track setting at that. Very intriguing.

@Andy Cooke yup it definitely does
but the main factor is the passion and hunger for innovation, to create something new and revolutionary.
Many other companies have way more money and are almost a century older than Koenigsegg, but Koenigsegg are the only ones coming up with crazy stuff like this
@@saigaikwad415 more like stiff regulations
@@northernhemisphere4906 what regulations?
since when did we start having regulations for these type of gearboxes?
I'm mainly talking about the gearbox here when I mention the "innovation", they made a gearbox that can operate both fully automatically and like a traditional manual, has different number of gears for both, has different gear ratios in different modes, and can deliver 1300+ hp smoothly. And even other than the gearbox, they developed an engine which has no turbo lag, which is not as big of a deal as the gearbox but still worth mentioning.
@@saigaikwad415 what on earth has turbo lag got to do with the gearbox?
@@JohanHultin nothing
my bad, I forgot to mention it seperately, I'll correct it
This is just magnificent. Didn't know about this presentation and it's a great tribute for the 20th anniversary of the CC8S. But what I wasn't expecting at all was this revival of the manual ... with a bang! Not only is this maybe the only hypercar I can think of that comes with a manual transmission but it also innovates it further, with the total 9 gears available into the typical 6-speed configuration, so that you can have different ratios based on the use case. If I got it right it will still feature the typical auto mode which means it's a win-win situation, you'll be able to choose how you want to drive it without giving up on anything. I'm enthusiastic about this new breeze of manual transmissions, especially for the hypercar segment. I hope this will inspire more auto makers to follow Koenigsegg's lead. I'm all for these new innovations such as bio-fuels and even full electricity, though without renouncing to a good old manual which, in this case, is also a really evolved and refined version of it. It's proof manual can co-exist with the latest tech. Thanks Christian and team for understanding how vital manual is for us petrolheads. 💛💙
The manual configuration definitely makes it much easier to welcome hybrid and electric motors, great comment!

Honestly, the most surprising thing about this for me is that Koeniggsegg managed to build a clutch that can handle being slammed with almost 1400 hp.
Like, I don’t even know what demon Christian had to sell his soul to to get that clutch alone made, let alone the engine or transmission, which are both equally astonishing pieces of engineering.

I actually made a correct prediction about their next move with LST lol. When I first learned about the LST and how it's work, I thought that with the capabilities of LST, it's a no brainer to make a simulated manual transmission. And they are actually going to make it and put it in their cars now. Best of the both world, road and track. Massive congratulation and happy 50th birthday Christian.
It's not just simulated. It's actually connected.
@@srinitaaigaura I know, it's just at that time I just thought if they simulate the LST like a manual gearbox with the software alone, that's in itself will be a gamechanger. But, Koenigsegg just being Koenigsegg, went beyond that. Just mind-blown.
I just watched MrJWW video about this car, and the sound when he blip the throttle was super responsive like a race car. It's unbelievable.
@@Nick-kv3pv Its not it has manual clutch to that would not be the case if it was just an automatic.
@@Nick-kv3pv based on my understanding, they used the same LST from the Jesko, so the clutching and variable ratio selection is done by software. But, the trigger for the clutching and selecting ratio is done by using the clutch pedal and a gated gear lever to simulate the analog feeling and engagement of traditional manual transmission. The drive will feel connected, but technically not. If they make it truly connected, the size and the weight of the transmission will significantly increase as more component will be added into the transmission. But based on the video, the LST in the car still use solenoids for the clutches, so they are not mechanically connected.
@@budokpantai I think you're right in that gear selection is done "by-wire" but as far as I can tell from the video the clutch is hydraulically actuated and connected to the rear in order to have the real feedback and stalling ability. I suppose it is still a compromise but it's not really akin to the simulated manuals that Toyota is talking about doing 100% in software at all.
wow. i love how technical he gets in this presentation. it’s nice to have the person who made the car present the car 💯

It's for dipshits with more money than sense.
Seriously, it makes absolutely no sense to press a clutch pedal down when it serves no other purpose than to fool the driver into thinking they're driving a true manual.. It's adding to shift time, limiting performance by adding useless steps when all the transmission uses to shift is an electronic signal, a literal digital button press..
