it got gearbox.
its using CVT gearbox which is different than conventional auto box.

u can check this website for more info on how CVT work
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/cvt.htm

this is the pros and cons of CVT
QUOTE
Advantages

    * CVTs can compensate for changing vehicle speeds, allowing the engine speed to remain at its level of peak efficiency. This improves fuel economy and by effect, exhaust emissions.

    * CVTs operate smoothly since there are no gear changes which cause sudden jerks.

    * Very few problems have been reported with the CVT transmission, lowering the cost of ownership.[citation needed]

    * There are 25% fewer moving parts to a CVT transmission.[citation needed]

    * They are also cheaper, but still expensive to repair.[citation needed]

    * The fluids do not have to be changed as often as an automatic transmission.[citation needed]

[edit] Disadvantages

    * Many early CVT driven cars had disappointing performance. The original Ford Fiesta 1.1 CTX, for example, used 8.2 percent more gasoline than the manual transmission version in city driving.[1]

    * CVTs operate smoothly. This can give a perception of low power, because many drivers expect a jerk when they begin to move the vehicle. The expected jerk of a non-CVT can be emulated by CVT control software though, eliminating this marketing problem.[citation needed]

    * Since the CVT keeps the engine turning at constant RPM over a wide range of vehicle speeds, pressing on the accelerator pedal will make the car move faster but doesn't change the sound coming from the engine as much as a conventional automatic transmission gear-shift. This confuses some drivers and, again, leads to an impression of a lack of power.

    * CVT torque handling capability is limited by the strength of their transmission medium (usually a belt or chain), and by their ability to withstand friction wear between torque source and transmission medium for friction-driven CVTs. CVTs in production prior to 2005 are predominantly belt or chain driven and therefore typically limited to low powered cars and other light duty applications. Units using advanced lubricants, however, have been proven to support any amount of torque in production vehicles, including that used for buses, heavy trucks, and earth moving equipment.

    * Any kind of automatic transmission may be rejected in some areas, because of reasons of cost and tradition. The small car market in Europe seems to be one of the most suspicious. In the USA and in Japan automatic cars have been widely accepted in all size classes.

all cars( at least the ones running on burnable substances for power) need a gearbox. as far as i know only electric cars dont need a gear box but have one all the same for the feel of it.

huh??? gtr and fairlady using cvt??? where did u learn THAT kind of thing.....pls do some research before posting

the gearbox those cars are using are called Dual Clutch Gearbox (they have different names for different companies), it means the gearbox has 2 clutch, 1 for gear 1, 3, 5 and the other for 2, 4, 6 for very fast and smooth gear change
