Reminds me of one of those fishes or whale that eats by just opening its mouth and sucks everything in nice, but somehow I don’t fancy that grille shape.

I believe the shift time can be as fast as 60ms if you selected the fastest setting. The shift setting does not have to be re-selected everything you start the car. Also E60 M5 has M mode that stores default settings for the driver whenever he is in the mood to activate the custom settings. Hands down SMG III is better in my opinion, albeit being jerky at times.. Heck! my E46 M3 SMG II can still out shift Maserati at 80ms. But really we are picking bones here when it's a mere 20ms difference.. DCT from E92 M3 is a right way to go, again my humble opinion.. cbljkkj,

Now why couldn't BMW implemented this system in the M5 and 6? They're far more technologically advanced and yet it's a chore to even manage settings between the 11 different shift speed settings all the time despite BMW's incredibly complex and advanced ECU systems. This is a far more sensible option to the daily driver and much more manageable. Oh and this Granturismo S is a gorgeous looking car, it looks like it resembles the DB9's fish mouth (puffer fish) look. “Normal gear changes are slower and smoother, but if you are in the manual sport mode with at least 80% throttle and you shift above 5,500rpm, the fast 100ms shifting mode is activated.”
