Did you read the good post here about wheel spin/slip? Do you not think that a Veyron with a MT could break loose wildy in every gear? THINK ABOUT IT, PLEASE.  |
Actually the system was developed by Porsche originally and latter refined for production by Audi in conjunction with Borg Warner.
As for the Veyron, it was never an option for the Bugatti to get a manual, they always decided on DSG right at the early stages and it was one of the reasons why the car took so long to reach production. The Veyron only puts 200hp to the front wheels in normal hard accelerations, that means there is 800+hp going through the rears. Would this small surge that BMW have engineered in cause the car to break traction, I somehow doubt that, but then again we will never know because to choose not to offer it now did they.
