I must say I'm shocked by the performance figures for the tip. They are excessively fast and it really gets me to scratch my head...
why and how!

For why, I personally thought (being as skeptical as I am) that Porsche was trying to market an antiquated technology that will be obsolete in about 18 months (PDK). I read interesting posts by people such as Turbo Al who think that the manual is being undertuned for reliability issues...

What I don't understand is the numbers! Is the tip achieving this through a different gear ratio? If so how does it beat the manual to 200kmph (by .6 seconds!)!! Will it die off after that on its way to 300kmph?!?

How can we verify this? Dyno charts? Anyone have any ideas?
Has anyone seen performance figures for a tip ever faster than a manual?

Very fascinating...
