Partial suppression of individual cylinders by interrupting ignition and injection briefly
during gearshifts under full load leads to considerably faster shift times.
The difference from one bar to five is a soft push versus a hard punch in the back
during gearshifts.
Best of all is the stirring thunder from the exhaust at full power, and the brief burps as the injection cuts
during gearshifts.
The size of the electric motor and the resulting gearing between the electric motor and the road wheels delivers a maximum torque infill
during gearshifts of up to 60 % of the traction limit for a typical supercar, delivering a substantial improvement to an AMT's particular weakness of shift comfort during urban driving.
During gearshifts, the engine speed drops because the driver removes his / her leg from the accelerator pedal before applying clutch and changing into next gear.
The F1's sense of speed is defined by the pause - bang moment

The modern McLaren V8 (smaller, turbocharged, significantly more advanced) disguises most of this combustion activity (not in the 675LT, though, which delivers a satisfying rifle - shot
during the gearshift when Sport mode is selected).
The shortened response times

during the shift.
No clutch pedal is required for manual
gearshifts and the driver can keep their foot on the accelerator
during gear changes.
Still, there are enhancements for the 2015 model year, including a standard backup camera and leather - wrapped steering wheel, a new «Brake» drive mode on the
gearshift that increases regenerative braking
during deceleration, a light in the charging port and the ability to unlock its little door from the key fob, as well as an available energy - saving hybrid heater system.
Driving the Lotus
during the traffic shuffle is surprisingly pleasant — the clutch is not heavy, the
gearshift really positive and with short throws and the off - idle torque is abundant.
