The DCT Turbo is simply a slug out of the hole, requiring high-rpm engagement to get it to launch with any urgency whatsoever. Most people don’t drive that way. Once it’s rolling, the DCT’s 5-to-60-mph figure of 7.7 seconds (versus 8.0 for the 2013 automatic) and its arrival at 120 mph fully 3.5 seconds sooner tell us that the new transmission does indeed hand gears off more quickly. The clock doesn’t lie, but the car feels no quicker in regular driving.
