Looks like a maintenance disaster.
A plain ol' ZF 8sp with paddle shifters can snap through the gears as fast as anyone needs to."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

First off, a person buying a Koenigsegg doesn't care about maintenance. Second of all, in case you didn't know, it ain't always about how fast you can crack off shifts. Yes, a Porsche 911 with a tiptronic AT is faster by pretty much every metric. Yet the manual demand is still pretty big for them. SO much so, they brought back the MT after thinking they were done with them.
I've driven both in the past. Shifting a manual transmission 911 can be a sublime experience. SUCH a great shifter. Driving the automatic ones around town, and I felt I might as well have been in a freaking Cayenne. Even when using the buttons on the steering wheel to "manually" shift. Borrrrring.

And the latest Porsche manual rev matches downshifts for you automatically. I'm sure the manual purists are lamenting that heel-toe-ing has gone the way of the dodo. "Oh it used to take skill and now anybody can make a clean downshift.... "

Ha. It's not an automatic trans on the bike. It's a quickshifter--you can upshift and downshift with the shifter only, no clutch pull needed. Or if you want, you can pull the clutch and shift. Quickshifter shifts are lightning fast. You still have to match revs on downshifts or you can end up in a cornfield.
Some of you old guys need to embrace modern. Chill out and try it for a while before passing judgement.

If I found myself in the market for a Turbo or one of the GT cars I’d opt for the PDK just because I would want the absolute best out of those super cars. Shit, even if I was in the market for a Porsche as a daily driver I’d opt for the PDK given all the hills and traffic around here that make a manual so much less fun.
I still call it The Jake.

Buddy has a new Vette and I don’t think I’d want to regularly drive it around with a manual. DCT feels right in a car like that, imho.
