BTW, I drove new Jaguar XKR yesterday.  Gearbox? I like that automatic more then PDK. Enough said?

Please, elaborate further. Also take into account the difference in the size and configuration of the Jaguar engine (V8, 5L) compared to the PDK installations so far (flat six, max 3800cc).

The V8, 5L PDK will be first available in the Panamera.


Just short comment since it is Off Topic in this thread.

XKR automatic works far better in traffic and slow driving situation then PDK in 997 or Cayman. In Dynamic D mode changes in XKR are excellent-I like the way it changes up and down more then the way PDK do that(even in Sport mode). Throttle dips on downshifts are perfectly matched. In fact gearchanges are in my subjective opinion as fast as on PDK.

Currently, it is IMHO the best and sportiest automatic on the market. BTW, XKR itself is best Jaguar so far. Amazing car. In straight line faster then 997.2 CS PDK. For example from 120km/h-240km/h much faster... Still, it is great GT, not a sportscar.
