OK the double clutch is nothing new but have a look at the engine. the Carrera S has a 3.8L engine with 385hp and it is found at a mere 6000rpm!!! it is not special to have 100hp per litre for NA engine as NA engine tends to rev until 8000+rpm to get that sort of power. but at 6000rpm? that could well be a new record! Oh also, the car consumes less fuel. Hmm... seems to not make sense, less fuel more power and no turbo. Only the Germans can do this. This is one impressive car.
