Gap is already minimal on every transmission, they made similar 1 clutch "automatic" transmission which can be found in some Lamborghini from around 2004 I think , but they weren't that fast and reliable
@@KrestenGiese wasn't there a non DCT transmission in the prior model ( 911 turbo ) at one point or at least one that did the 24-hours of Daytona with computer controlled? 6-speed manual transmission
I drove a manual 997.1 for 5 years. I traded for a 991.1 PDK last year. It is lovely. Daily drivers both. Tracked both as well. PDK excels on the track and is a godsend in stop-and-go traffic.
Finally a company that can build a car worthy of man
I'm sorry, I didn't understand your comment, are the rest of the cars inferior, the unworthiness to drive them?
@@theogkotsis2335yes
Pdk is also dual clutch, but uses wet clutch
Doppelkopplung is literal translation of double clutch. Well, or the other way around ;)
so is the dsg
0:58 overlapping transmission: when a gear is engaged, the other gear is selected in the second gear box
I'm really excited that it also reduces fuel consumption!
Love it! less tension on breaking too.
nice kupplung
The pdk is the quickest shifting transmission in the world, Porsche originally developed it with zf.
it's just awesome.
a video uploaded 13 yrs ago ??? oh man we are so much behind
Epic
I wonder why they cant make the gap between the clutch itself and the thing that clamps it for shorter shift times??

👏
cool..
Pdk is where it's at, but that 7th won't save you any money at the gas station
That thumb button for gear change is quite a drawback.
basically DCT
It IS a dual clutch transmission ....

I don't know shit about cars so imma take a wild swing and say that PDK is better than manual?
masterofbloopers Yes haha. Most high performance auto transmissions these days can out gun a manual trans by a whole second.
You know more than you think!
Clearly Porsche would like you to think so!
"Better" is subjective. What makes a steak better: Seasoning? Tenderness? the way its cooked?
masterofbloopers no. Milliseconds don’t matter on the road and a manual trans is much lighter
