Garage419 takes a trip to Salt Lake City to test drive the new Porsche 997 Type II with the PDK transmission. While in Utah, Emil Rensing takes the new 911 to Miller Motorsports Park to see how well the new dual clutch transmission handles track abuse. After that, David Murry takes us on a hot lap around the 4.4 mile road course to push the new 997 and PDK transmission to the limit. - Garage419

  • Porsche developed dual clutch transmissions more than 25 years ago. Also Lancia developed twin-charged engines back in the 80's. The name "TDI" was firstly used by Fiat in the early 90's. VW-Audi only bought other peoples' inventions. Now they're pride of their DSGs TSIs FSIs TDIs...

  • go drive the car, i used to be manual 6speed guy, my first 997 was 6 speed.. i hated anything auto.. drove the pdk twice and ended up buying one that i still have now and love..

  • @trobi what you miss is that VW/Audi was able to take these expensive niche technologies and commercialize them in mass production. that's not an easy feat.

  • I'm not giving you a free car. WTF? GIVE ME A FREE CAR!!!

  • @RonnieMX Pwned

  • @RonnieMX: no, auto transmisssions don't have a clutch. They have a torque converter, which is two turbine blades (one connected to the engine, the other the gears) separated by a few 100ths of an inch in a space filled with oil. Cheers.

  • thanks

    

  • Drive a 997 Turbo with PDK....You quickly forget about Manual :P

  • @bobrec3GTI Manual is slower.. paddles as fitted to the new gen cars is very nice on the track (think F1) up on the right down on the left.

    No heavy clutch in traffic too and is great fun to drive... Having said that I just bought a 1st Gen 997 Carrera S with manual gearbox and I love it!!

  • @MagicLewisForever  lol why not just get a manual? its a porsche, not a grannymobile

  • @rijowysock same here man, i used to only want manuals, then i test drove two golf gti's, one with a dsg and one with a manual... needless to say, my next car will be a gti dsg.
