Transmission Overview
- Type: 7-speed dual-clutch (F1 DCT)
- Internal designation: Getrag 7DCL750
- Control: electro-hydraulic mechatronic system
- Layout: transaxle (rear-mounted in mid/front-engine layouts depending on model)
- Torque handling: high-performance V8/V12 applications
Engineering Concept
The 7DCL750 was designed to deliver:
- Near-instant gear changes without torque interruption
- Seamless acceleration under full load
- High thermal resistance for track use
- Reduced shift times compared to single-clutch F1 systems
- Improved drivability in automatic mode
Its dual-clutch architecture allows:
- One clutch handling odd gears (1,3,5,7)
- One clutch handling even gears (2,4,6, reverse)
- Pre-selection of next gear for instant engagement
This results in extremely fast shift speeds, especially in race mode, making it a core performance element of modern Ferrari driving dynamics.
