Top Gear review of TT with clarkson

[Cornutu]

While reviewing the 2003 Audi TT clarkson stated that the car prepared the next gear while the other was engaged. Do any other car companies utilize the 2 clutch system. Is there one that does this for downshifting as well? Is there a name for this clutch?

Audi's system is called DSG.. with a quick search around the net you will find infos (also here on the forums we had a couple of topics too I think)... and I suppose in the near future every manufacturer will have its own system of double clutch

I'm not sure but i think the DSG gearbox was used in rally (I mean WRC) at least ten years ago, and i ve also heard that porsche had the same type of gearbox in the past ...
