M-DCT SW-update acceleration video

Pitkis · 11-05-2008, 04:33 PM

Here's a video of updated M-DCT from 100 to 200 km/h. Mode is D2, power Normal. Even though the set-up is far from the best the car can deliver, downshift is instant and power output smooth through the speed range.

It's actually faster than I though - just 11 seconds. Might go around 10s in D5 Sport Plus -mode..?

Wasn't the lag most noticeable from 1st to 2nd? Try S5 from a start.

Yes, the car can make better and this was just one example. I mainly use just two modes in my car: D2/Normal in usual drive and S5/Sport Plus/MDM/Race (M-mode set-up) in serious situations & track. Not much time & energy to sample with other ones - the car is great in every mode

I prefer D3/Sport/EDC set on "comfort" for commuting into city and busy traffic while in S-mode I now prefer S4/SportPlus/MDM and EDC on "normal". In S5 the gearchange really seems to bang on the transmission axle and I don't want to abuse the car (too often).

Having said that I think it's fair to say that the difference in speed of gearchange between S4 and S5 is not subjectively noticeable.

Im driving D2 when Im lazy, all most confortable.
But all the other times S5 man... The automatic revs it make going from 3 to 2 while driving 60-70km/h... NICE
