TITronic!!?? LOL :-)

Bet you have to grease the nipple on that one :-)

There are various versions of this from Porsche, BMW etc...
Some use buttons on steering wheel, others use a Plus and Minus Up/Down
position on the gear lever.

Most are just fancy ways of controlling automatic gearbox.  Some (like Alfa
155) are actually manual boxes with electronic/hydraulic? actuators (a la
F1).
