Video: Porsche PDK Dual-Clutch Gearbox

July 18th 2008 11:15

Porsche's recently facelifted 997 911 range features so many upgrades that despite the minor styling revisions, you could be forgiven for thinking it was a new generation model altogether.

Headlining the list of mechanical changes is the introduction of Porsche's own dual clutch gearbox called the Doppelkupplung, or PDK, for short. Boasting seven-speeds and a faster shift time than Michael Schumacher could ever pull off, the PDK-equipped 911 Carrera S is said to lap the Nurburgring significantly faster than the manual transmission version.

Click on the video to get a detailed explanation on how these sophisticated dual-clutch gearboxes work.

CAR magazine test-drives 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S

July 3rd 2008 11:15

UK motoring journal CAR magazine has test-driven the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S equipped with the company's first production double-clutch transmission - 25 years after its debut on their race cars - and direct injection on the famous flat six engine for the first time in its illustrious history.

Watch the following video to see road test editor Chris Chilton guide you through a test-drive of the facelifted 997 911 coupe and his thoughts on the new PDK transmission which in short, is one of the best dual-clutch transmissions he's ever driven despite the confusing nature of the steering wheel mounted shift buttons.

July 1st 2008 11:15

During the development of its new direct-injection engines for the 2009 911 Carrera, German sports car maker Porsche created a test rig to evaluate oiling system enhancements.

March 13th 2008 10:30

The humble SUV has come a long way from its rugged terrain days, in particular, in the area of driving dynamics so it comes as no surprise that some of today's SUVs are more suited to a racetrack than on a mountainous stretch of road
