The dual-clutch transmission will be offered largely across the auto industry for the 2011 model year, from the Bugatti Veyron to the Ford Focus. After being in the initial research with BMW, General Motors is looking at a 2012 introduction because of its bankruptcy. With that in mind, here is a sampling of the cars that offer it (and what the carmakers call their version of it). Note that Lamborghini has eschewed the DCT in favor of the single-shaft transmission used in the Audi R8):
