Audi R8 V10: Will not receive S tronic

The Audi R8 V10 will also use the R tronic known from the current Audi R8 and not switch to the S tronic.
The supercar from Ingolstadt – powered by the RS6’s hirsute 5.0-litre V10 – will stick with the V8’s six-speed manual and the R-tronic robotised manual.
‘The S-tronic twin-clutch gearbox simply does not and will not fit in the R8,’ said Michael Schoffmann, Audi’s transmission chief. ‘All future R8s will stick with the manual and R-tronic transmissions.’
