Directly from the article:
"Gearchanges can be commanded by the driver through wheel-mounted paddles, which work as well as an automated dual-clutch transmission. Even better, the traditional automatic doesn't exhibit the low-speed lurches from which many automated manual transmissions suffer."

They did goof and call it a twin-turbo though.
