I'm sure most of you have seen this, but for the benefit of those who haven't driven a DSG - here's a clip from the Fifth Gear test of the GTI. There's a good description of how the DSG works and a demo of a manual change up. You'll need to have your sound on to hear the engine note and the change up.

The lower powered units are getting the 7 speed DSG.

The 7 speed has dry clutches and so cannot handle the same torque levels as the wet plate 6 speed version. :smiley:

Yes, I can't see the point of a 7th gear if you're driving either DSG Manual mode or conventional manual gearbox. "Fuel economy" will be what someone will answer, and VW being seen to be leaders in striving towards eco friendliness. But that's not why I would buy any GTI! Or indeed any performance car which is a joy to drive.

Will the normal manual cars also have 7 gears? :shocked:

Do they do those shifters in silver? The same brushed aluminium silver as the other bits on the ED30 (GTi?) They'd look a lot more OEM then. I'm not too keen on the carbon.

A lot of new cars are using sequential DSG-style gearbox's. For example the new Aston Martin DBS is a paddle shift sequential box, so is the R35 Nissan GT-R (fastest car round the nurburgring). And thats the only transmission you can choose in the GT-R - isnt even an option of a manual.
