BorgWarner DualTronic(TM) Transmission Technology and BorgWarner Turbochargers Power Bugatti 16.4 Veyron

CHICAGO, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner DualTronic(TM), the
company's wet-clutch and control-system technology for a new-concept automated
transmission that was launched this year on the Audi TT 3.2 and VW Golf R32,
is on the 2004 Bugatti 16.4 Veyron. The industry-first technology enables a
manual transmission to evolve and perform like an automatic transmission, yet
deliver vehicle fuel economy improvements over automatic transmissions.
"The Bugatti 16.4 Veyron is the fastest, most powerful production vehicle
ever built," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and CEO. "While the
volume of a limited-edition vehicle is small, the role that DualTronic(TM)
plays in the Bugatti certainly illustrates the far-reaching potential of the
technology. The system's capacity for extremely fast yet imperceptibly smooth
clutch-to-clutch shifts -- not to mention its ability to manage the highest
engine output on the road, powered by four BorgWarner turbochargers -- figures
prominently in the vehicle's performance."

You would never hear about it if they did break.

The GT-R's transmission is as reliable as any double-clutch box, and PDK hasn't exactly been fault-free ...

I know the actual gears are made by Ricardo, but everything else points to the control system being DualTronic.
