This car DOES NOT have a clutch clutch transmission. You are misinterpreting and falling for Infiniti's misleading marketing BS. Dual Clutch control refers to the operation of the electric motor and standard motor driving the car individually or harmoniously.
Also, this VQ37 DOES NOT have direct injection. No idea where you guys are reading this misinformation. Please see below from the official Infiniti Q50 fact sheet:
