I'll have to dig up my road and track guide to the svx to verify, but IIRC there was a section devoted to the pursuit of a seamless gear change on the svx to promote the luxury car ideal. Of course that is not fact as it is journalism, but the fact that concurrent subaru models of similar weight and torque did not use torque reduction while the svx did is evidence to validate the article.

"Gear changing was brought to luxury coupe levels of smoothness by instituting a torque management program which cuts fuel to half of the engine's cylinders on the 1-2 gearshift"
