Audi R8 transmission

Last E92 M3 · 11-09-2006, 05:48 PM

Other thread that I made about SMG briefly talked about Dual clutch system by audi.
Well, after hearing things from different people that DSG preselects the gear so that sometimes it preselects wrong gear which causes longer time to shift to next gear.
Does anybody know how R8 transmission work?

Good question...I just found this on Yahoo!

Two transmissions are available: a manual 6-speed gearbox or optionally the Audi R tronic sequential-shift gearbox, with a joystick gear-shift on the centre console and, most especially, the paddles mounted on the steering wheel. 'Shift by wire' technology provides for very fast gear-shifting and an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, allied to compact gearbox dimensions. The Sport mode, with its fast shifting, guarantees the absolute maximum in terms of driving fun. An automatic mode can also be selected.

well, we all know that it has some type of "smg" system.
i am wondering if it has different system compare to DSG since many of you were saying that the preselecting gear isnt that great.
i mean...DSG is good but not great i guess.
i am wondering if JK42 get to drive one
