Saxomat was a type of automatic clutch available as an option on Fiat 1800, Saab 93, Volkswagen Beetle, Borgward, DKW, BMW, Opel, NSU and Glas.

Cars with a Saxomat clutch did not have a clutch pedal, the clutch was engaged above certain engine RPM by centrifugal force, acting on spinning weights inside the clutch, similar to a centrifugal governor.
