What Is The Audi R tronic Transmission?

The Audi R tronic Transmission is an automated 6-speed manual transmission that can either shift itself automatically or be shifted manually using the steering wheel mounted shift paddles or specially developed joystick. Using a double-plate clutch the transmission can shift gears faster than even a professional driver, and switching to sport modes makes the transmission shift even more quickly. The R tronic provides the efficiency, performance, and fuel economy of a traditional manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic.
