Audi c7 rs6 get r-tronic or s-tronic ?
Or maybe Tiptronic?
For my money, I want S tronic. Remember, there's not TC to fail in this auto (although other parts will probably fill this void). Just 2 things I would like about the paddles:
1) faster shifts, I want that gear to change before I let go of the paddle.
2) mount the paddles on the column, for a race car the paddles on the wheel make sense as you usually don't move you hands on the wheel. But on a road car, I want column.
I have been reading up on the difference.
From what I gather the R-Tronic has a single electronic clutch and basically does what your left foot would do when you move the shifter?
And the S-tronic is a dual clutch system?

r tronic is a manual, not?
it's senqutral manual like a bmw's m-dkg gearboxQuote:

S-Tronic (DSG)
Dual clutch for sure, though that said I wouldn't complain if it were a traditional automatic, so good are they now.
The S tronic(dsg) box is an auto. It doesn't have a torque converter and rather, has a dual clutch system. Its pretty much like having 2 manual transmissions in one case. It is much smoother and faster than a traditional auto with a TC. And "tiptronic" just refers to the mode you put it in to change gears yourself via center stick or paddles. It is not another "type" of transmission.Quote:

if they put DRC in the new RS6, they can keep it.
