Yes. Kick down happen as normal. How the car accelerate and shift gears is some what vague I must say. It might feel awkward at first.

not constant acceleration, but there's no gear shifts so th engine RPM stays more or less in the same place while the car speeds up. It won't feel any different, just smoother. If you've ever ridden in one of the new 8 speed bmws, the experience is very similar.

Also there is no kickdown, the engine RPMs increase that's all.
