S Tronic

A direct shift gearbox that combines the advantages of a conventional manual-shift gearbox with the characteristics of a modern automatic transmission.

The future of transmission. S tronic, the revolutionary Audi direct shift gearbox, combines the advantages of a conventional manual-shift gearbox with the characteristics of a modern automatic transmission. The technical basis of the S tronic is a double clutch. This consists of two wet plate-type clutches with hydraulically regulated contact pressure. This allows one of the clutches to engage the odd-numbered gears, while another can engage even-numbered gears. This principle enables faster gearshifts, with less loss of power.
