Does the Stinger really have a 8-speed dual clutch? For some reason I thought it was a standard torque-converter transmission and not a DCT.

It does not. It is a standard converter-style 8-speed automatic.

That's what I thought just quoting from the article.

So how did Kia do it? First, Kia built an in-house developed V6 turbo powertrain with an 8-speed dual clutch technology and then placed it onto a revised Genesis G80 platform.
