I don't quite understand the clutch thing. Is there hydraulic control over the clutch?

But no. Although the Ruf Rt12 is equipped with a manually operated six-speed gearbox rather than Tiptronic, the driver doesn’t touch the clutch pedal when he moves the gear lever to first. His right foot isn’t doing anything either. Does the car stall? It doesn’t even as much as hesitate.
Without any drama at all, the car just moves with the tach registering the same 900 rpm. “Even your grandmother couldn’t stall this car”, says our driver. And to prove his point he shifts to second, again without touching a pedal. The Rt12 just proceeds to go a bit less slowly. And then he repeats this trick in third, fourth, fifth and sixth. We’re doing 39 km/h now, according to the LCD readout at the bottom of the speedo, with the engine still at idle speed and not complaining in the least...
