Drivetrain

The seven-speed S tronic with lightning-fast shifting is standard in the new Audi TT RS models. The dual-clutch transmission impresses with high efficiency and a large spread – its lower gears are short, and the seventh gear has a long transmission ratio to reduce consumption. A plate heat exchanger regulates the temperature of the transmission oil; a new angle drive to the propeller shaft reduces the weight by about two kilograms (4.4 lb). The driver controls the seven-speed S tronic with the selector lever and the standard shift paddles on the sport leather steering wheel. The launch control manages starts with optimal traction, allowing the new TT RS to accelerate to its full potential.
