Yesterday night I was driving uphill to access another highway (40 mph, third gear, AT transmission, manual mode)

When I reached the highway, I throttled to achieve the new speed and the car just did not responded.

No throttle response (like a total disconnection), RPM was as if the car were idled (but not be able to accelerate, like idle revving), I was not able to change gears (on the paddle shifts or gear shift) and I started to loss speed for almost 6/7 seconds.

The best description is: Imagine your car at 40 mph, on Neutral, flat road, but with no throttle response and no revving, (as if the car was turned off), slowly losing speed.

I tried to change the gear shift to full auto (no response, still M on the panel), then back in M mode, and still not responding.

Suddenly, the car woke up again, as if nothing had happened.

No warning signs, stability control warning, temperature changing, absolutely nothing, the car just stopped responding.

What is happening?
