It appears this new DSG is a step backwards from the current DSG except for the increase from 6 speed to 7 speed. It is built to accomodate even smaller displacement engines rather than larger high reving motors. It is now a dry clutch rather than a wet clutch. This would appear to make it even more vulnerable to burning clutches. It makes me wonder if Porsche is struggling to develop a DSG for it's high reving motors. It sounds like the M division may be ahead of the competition with their upcoming DCT. I can't wait to see how it performs.
