The three extra gears of the A10 give it significantly lower fuel consumption on the freeway. In this over regulated world that can be the difference between building the car and not.

Low speed drivability of DCT's is not good. Believe me, I had a few in BMW's. That may not be a factor for track use, but it does get annoying.
