Details of the new 7-speed dual-clutch S-tronic gearbox has been released by Audi for no interruptions in power delivery during shifting. Operating just like VW’s DSG gearbox, but with an extra cog, the S-tronic is built by Borg Warner. It is due to debut in the upcoming Q5 SUV later on this year. The new transmission has been designed for use with Audi’s longitudinally mounted engines and Quattro all-wheel drive system, and is capable of handling up 406 lb-ft of torque and engine speeds up to 9,000rpm.

The new twin-clutch transmission is designed to work with longitudinally installed engines and the quattro all-wheel drive system, with its 550 Nm torque capacity making it suitable for a wide range of sporty models. As with the outgoing S tronic gearbox, Audi drivers can use the new seven-speed S tronic in various modes. The fully automatic mode, in which the computer selects the gear, keeps the D (Drive) and S (Sport) programs available. The gears can also be manually switched with the shift selector lever or with the optional rocker switch on the steering wheel.
