Can the Audi A4L's accelerator pedal be pressed down further after reaching the floor?

Audi A4L's accelerator pedal can be pressed down further after reaching the floor, which is the forced downshift switch. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of: length 4858mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, wheelbase 2908mm, fuel tank capacity 56l, and curb weight 1610kg. The 2020 Audi A4L features a five-link independent suspension in the front and rear, and is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine producing maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum power of 110kw, and maximum torque of 270nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Speaking of the Audi A4L's acceleration, I've driven it quite a few times. When the throttle is fully pressed, there still seems to be some room left. If you press it even harder, the car suddenly downshifts and surges forward more aggressively. This is the transmission's kickdown function, designed to provide extra thrust, especially useful for high-speed overtaking. However, don't do this every day, as it will skyrocket fuel consumption and accelerate transmission wear. In daily driving, I usually only use it when I urgently need to accelerate, otherwise, a light press is sufficient. Audi's design is quite clever, ensuring smoothness while still allowing for emergency situations. It's recommended to regularly maintain the transmission fluid to ensure the system works healthily. Also, check the tires during seasonal changes—accelerating too quickly with insufficient grip can easily lead to skidding. Overall, safety comes first; don't prioritize speed over road conditions.
