Porsche's PDK Gearbox



Porsche, the 'friendly' fox that sits wagging it's tail out of Volkswagen's hen house had finally gotten their version of the DSG gearbox - dubbed PDK (Porsche Doppel Kupplungsgetrieb).

The application of the PDK is reported to be able to shift 60% faster than Porsche's famous Porsche Tiptronic system, to put into perspective it helps to cut down the Nurburgring lap time by a staggering 8 seconds!

Watch the video to 'try' understand how it works.
