To be fair, you can say that a regular manual transmission also has multiple clutches. Synchronizers are cone clutches, they are just not used to hold the power, instead, dog collars are used. This new transmission is a logical continuation of this concept, instead of synchros and dog collars, they use multiplate clutches, which can be applied faster and allow for continuous torque transmission. All in all, brilliant development of an old and tried concept into something high-tech. Koenigssegg is a genius indeed
