What is the story behind the 8C's 'robotized manual' transmission?

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was also fitted with a 6-speed 'robotized manual' transmission, or single clutch automated manual. In the mid 2000s this type of gearbox was popular for high performance cars as it promised the engagement of a manual with the convenience of an automatic. Yet, these transmissions received highly variable reviews with some lauding them for their quick shifts, while others cursed them for their jerky operation, especially at low speeds. In particular, the 8C's transmission has been something of a subject of debate among enthusiasts and reviewers. It's this sour note that also divides opinion, some believe it enhances the car's character, while others consider it the weakest aspect of what is otherwise a very good piece of kit. Now let’s dive into the pros and cons of this much debated gearbox and how it affects the 8C driving experience.

It's a love-hate thing. It's great when you're pushing hard. But in traffic? Prepare for some jerky rides, oof.
