faster shifts, more sporty, can skip gears.
You are deluding yourself. There is no way you can shift gears as fast as DSG does.
bugati veyron shifts in 150ms
bmw m5 65ms
bmw m3 80ms
The veyron has a DSG and from what I know 150ms is slower than 65 and 80.
VW / Audi's technical description of DSG, from which you will note that the shift speed is 3 to 4 hundredths of a second. Or 30 - 40 milliseconds. Twice as fast as the fastest SMG change speed you quote above. And it's much, much smoother, particularly at full chat.
"Transmission: DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox)
DSG is a manual gearbox in which the gearshifts are controlled electronically. What makes the DSG unique is that it has 2 separate gear sets operated by 2 wet multi-plate clutches (1st, 3rd, 5th on one gear set, plus 2nd, 4th, 6th on the other).
The benefit of 2 gear sets and 2 multi-plate wet clutches is that one gear set and clutch is engaged driving the vehicle with the second clutch having already pre-selected the next gear awaiting for power to be transferred.
As the next gear has already been preselected prior to power being applied,
the gear change only takes 3 to 4 hundredths of a second. There is virtually no interruption to power, traction or acceleration".
