^^ Your eyes do not deceive you...
The Roadster comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, but will also be available with Lotus' Serial Precision Shift (SPS), a paddle-operated automated manual transmission, which makes life more relaxed in the city and more F1-like when it's let off the leash. The SPS gearbox means the driver never has to take their hands off the wheel, it prevents errors during shifting, and it is lighter and more compact than a normal torque-converter transmission.

I did the same double-take when I first saw the pics. What I think is interesting is that they introduced the flappy paddles on the Evora as "IPS" an now this is "SPS". It'll be interesting to see how the performance/reliability of this tranny holds up.
