Back in the '60s, if you craved the joy of driving a 911 but didn't want to bother with a clutch pedal, Porsche offered its unique clutchless Sportmatic transmission.
A sort of semi-automatic transmission, the Sportmatic used a vacuum cylinder to disengage the clutch instead of a driver-operated pedal. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it never really caught on and was discontinued not too long after it was introduced.
