twin clutch on the DSG - which means there are 2 drive shafts and 2 clutches with odd number gears on 1 and even number on another. They preload gears and hence the quicker application like that in R32, Veyron, etc. (patent is owned by VAG). The only downfall to this is slow down shift if you go down 2 gears.
