This has been AMG's argument for the MCT: way smoother, way more capable, and in the latest iteration, just as fast as a DCT with a new 9 speed coming out.

It's an interesting case from a dork perspective: wet start-up clutch pack like a motorcycle, then individual clutches on each of the 4 planetary gear sets for "double de-clutching":

The newest iteration in the AMG C63 does a damn good job of copying a double-clutch, too.
