Aren’t automatic cars slower?
Conventional automatics do tend to be a bit slower, yes. But twin-clutch gearboxes are often faster than even highly skilled drivers. They change gear super-fast and computers mean they are always in the right gear at the right time. To even approach the speed that twin-clutch gearboxes shift, drivers would have to treat a manual gearbox brutally, which most owners are unwilling to do.
