Audi R8 uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Audi R8 is a mid-engine two-seater sports car launched by the German automaker Audi. The dual-clutch transmission, abbreviated as DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission), is called a dual-clutch gearbox in Chinese. It is named so because it has two sets of clutches. The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a switch for power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main function is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce the impact load on the transmission gears during gear shifting, and prevent overload of the transmission system. Audi is a German luxury car brand, symbolized by four interlocking rings. Currently a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, its headquarters are located in Ingolstadt, Germany, with branches in many countries including China.
