Boxster Spyder (not spyder as in convertible, the Spyder model). PDK transmission. When in sport plus mode, it will hold the RPMs right up to the red line, and it will not shift until it is there. When it does shift, it is extremely quick; almost instant it seems. When in standard mode, it just shifts through gears like an automatic transmission. Slower shifts, not as high RPMs before going to the next gear. While I realize that it is an SUV, I've driven an X5 M, which I thought has the same transmission as the M3. It seemed very similar to the PDK, except it didn't have a comparative setting to Sport Plus.
