Therefore, get a Porsche Carrera GT with ceramic-multilayered clutch... Tons of launches without the clutch frying... :D

DSG's should last longer than conventional clutches... I think... but even e-gear Lambos wear down clutches after a while. Strong engines are bad for transmissions, plain and simple. That's why Mercedes is addicted to conventional automatic transmissions, as they can take the tons of torque and horsepower that AMG engines produce.
And that's also why US drag racers prefer sturdy 3-speed ATs to more conventional MTs. With up to and over 1000hp going through the transaxle, not many clutches would last long enough to be competitive.

oo nga ano.. who cares about losses in the slush box when you have 1000hp :D
that slush box would get REALLY hot though.. i think one reason why oldish AT cars here in the philippines have unreliable transmissions is being stopped in drive in traffic all of the time (rather than putting the transmission in neutral).

*orly: For drag cars, it's not a problem, as they run once, cool down, and run again. In traffic, well... let's just say I don't let anyone in my family buy a secondhand AT in this country...
I once considered retrofitting an ATF cooler to my AT before... I think all Philippine market cars deserve one.
*theveed: ceramic clutches... mmmhmmm... kaya lang, mahirap daw timplahin sa traffic. And if ceramic brakes are supposed to be noisy, yung ceramic clutches kaya?

mitsu only became manufacturers champ in the WRC for 1998 iirc (or baka 1997, basta evo5 gamit nila). tommi makinen became 4-time driver's champ starting with the evo3 up to the evo6.
dogs daw go crazy with the noise from ceramic brakes? heehehehehehehe.
An EV for city driving sounds very good in theory and we've been seriously considering them...
