The G8X 6MT is slower in a straight line than the F8X with DCT (and barely quicker than a F8X 6MT due to increased weight!) which is just ridiculous for a newer model. The 6MT needs the same power output as its auto brother!

The max torque the MT can handle dictates the max output of the engine. A slushbox can handle much more. It's not that they are toning down the engine just to screw their customers over that select a MT. |
Agreed! It's no different than what Porsche did with the Sport Classic. The MT is mated to a slightly de-tuned TT/S motor for reliability.
