I must be listening to another video. It sounds quiet to me. Not even 10% of the S85 V10 exhaust note.

the flashing brake lights look cool!
and if i'm not wrong,i think i heard the quick shifting of a DCT gearbox.

SlammedR8 · 09-13-2010, 08:30 AM

Whats up with everyone saying I think its a DCT?
Obviously its a DCT?

What else would it be ? You think they would put a regular slushbox in there?

My E92 has it as well and this feature is seen on a lot of European car brands (Porsche, Renault, Citroen, Mercedes, Audi, ...)

i don't think so...its a safety feature as stated above-to warn the tailing vehicle of heavy braking...nice feature!

asif163 · 09-14-2010, 09:46 AM

The car sounds pretty damn good...almost as good as the V10!
