Pay attention to the “SynchroRev Match” demo in the video. According to Nissan’s press release, it is the world’s first automated rev matching system for a full manual transmission, essentially eliminating the use of “Heel & Toe” downshift action.
Enjoy!

Damn. That’s a pretty cool video. And I don’t know if I like that idea of the engine rev-matching for you, I’ll have to drive it to see if it works smoothly or not ;D I can’t wait!
Because 90% of the people who claim they can “drive a manual transmission” really have no clue what the fuck they are really doing. He never said it was defined completely by one’s ability to rev-match, either.
Car is pretty sweet. I don’t really like the way it looks from the rear though. Oh well.
