Re: More 997 Pics, this time he brought the 997 S home
Don't you think this is part of the strategy?!?
Of course they know people are taking disguised cars with them, and that the cars will be photographed... those are teasers my friend! Just to keep the porsche fans keen on the nearby introduction...
BTW; thanks for the pic!

The engine grill/wing looks much better and sportier than the 996's.
But not sure about quad pipes on a 6cil. thats kind of ricey if you ask me, the 911 should be a no-nonsense sportcar not a sportcar look-a-like with extra pipes, bonet humps or grills that serve no purpose but aesthetical ones.
But I get exited just by barely reading "CarreraS" through the tape... should go to a shrink?

By definition, the DSG (direct shift gearbox) is a true sequential, that is, a electro-hydraulic shift actuated "manual gearbox", as opposed to a computerised manually activated hydraulic torque converter "auto" (Tiptronic, steptronic, speedshift, etc). The only difference with the other sequentials (SMG-II and the magneti-marelli based Ferrari F1, Maserati cambiocorsa, Alfa's selespeed, etc) is that it uses two clutches for much faster shifting and un-interrupted power delivery during shifts. So buttons would be pretty lame IMO and the first sequential fitted street or race car to do so to my knowledge. Only torque converters use buttons, and sequentials from the Audi TT DSG to the F1 race cars all use paddles.

I just got a mail...it is Tiptronic.
I wonder if they will wait and introduce the DSG on the 997GT3? or for the 997 facelift?
They are developing a DSG type like rumors said, right RC? have you heard anything more about it?

Carlos, here is a great technical article on the VW/Audi DSG transmission. (Starts about halfway down).
