Engine and some numbers I found along with some more info at the link below.

I don't care who you are, 0 to 100 and back to 0 in 10.6 seconds is impressive!

the TR-9070 DCT dual-clutch transmission has a novel wet clutch system with five friction plates in the odd-gear pack for a total of 155 square inches of surface area.

I've rebuilt Cat dozer powershift transmissions that use wet clutch packs all the way up to a D8. I'd test them by opening the throttle wide open, holding the brakes and engaging the transmission multiple times through forward range (3 speeds) and in reverse (also three speeds). The power shaft had to stop spinning in about a second as the torque convertor engaged. Repeat for a minute or so.

Most motorcycles and automatic transmissions today have wet clutch packs as well.

They work great!

Btw, the previous model could do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Not bad for four seats.

Thanks. Going with a 3.73 rear-end. Wonder what the gear ratios are.
