Transmission
The revolutionary 7-speed S tronic gearbox combines sporty driving with the convenience
and smooth, uninterrupted power of an automatic transmission. The technical basis of
S tronic is the double clutch. This consists of two lubricated plates with hydraulically-regulated
contact pressure. It means that S tronic works almost as two separate systems: one engaging
the odd-numbered gears, the other the even-numbered gears, enabling gearshifts to be made
in a fraction of a second, with no disruption to the power flow. So with S tronic, depending
on how the mood takes you, you can either allow gear-changes to take place automatically
or, for a sportier driving style, operate the system using the gear lever or the optional steering
wheel shift-paddles. The choice is yours.
