Answer

Both the structure and degree of perfection of ESCOT-Ⅴ are different!

ESCOT-Ⅴ is a mechanical, automatic transmission which precisely controls a complicated 12-speed transmission that has the clutch and gearbox of a manual transmission. The exceedingly mature degree of completion that has been refined over 20 years to yield the driving sensation of a professional driver represents the peak achievement of the AMT with speedy and smooth operation.
