Manual R tronic sequential transmission
By specifying a 6-speed manual transmission for your R8, you can put yourself in complete
control of your driving experience. The system is matched precisely to the R8’s engine
configuration and driving dynamics, allowing you to take full advantage of the broad spread
of engine torque available across its six closely-spaced gear ratios. With its compact design
and low weight, the manual system is a simple, direct way to tap into the awesome power
of the R8. Providing short gearshift travel and precise lever movement, it gives you the
highest possible level of accessibility with the minimum of fuss.
R tronic is a unique technology developed by Audi, which provides swift and seamless
gear-changing for an incredibly sporty drive. Thanks to its groundbreaking electro-hydraulic
shifting unit, R tronic transmits all the force of the R8’s engine power to the road with
unrivalled smoothness and control. And when you switch to S mode, the ride becomes all
the more thrilling: the system delays automatic gearshifts for optimum acceleration, while
the pioneering Launch Control provides the kind of lightning-fast performance that allows
the R8 to spring from a standing start to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds*.
