The m3 dct simply pulls forward while shifting and does not give a single inch up doing so.
Yet Lambo and the F1 cars using single clutch technology are the fastest shifting transmissions in the world.

And the real reason DCT were not incorporated into these cars? Because it is a complex engineering mess, fraught with flaws and problems.

It's never about simply being fastest, its about who is consistently fastest without breaking down.

Simplicity is its own reward.
