| Re: How Audi's DSG gearbox works. First of all Audi now calls the DSG "S-Tronic" , second dual clutch gearbox as an idea goes way back but Audi reintroduced it during the '80s. Third and most important dual clutch gearboxes are superior to single clutch ones or else BMW and Porsche wouldn't be working on their versions right now.

| Re: How Audi's DSG gearbox works. Well actually Porsche in the 80s used it before and gave it to Audi. It was known as the PDK = Porsche Doppler-Kupplungs. Dual clutches are actually about ~70 old. It is the invention of french engineer Adolphe Kégresse, and it was build for the Citroen Traction Avant. However it never made into it. There were some Citroen 11 CV who showcased this twin-clutch at the 1947 is Saloon du Paris. However it becamed viable for competion in the 1980s, and was used by the Porsche 956/962 endurance racers and the Audi Quattro S1 rally car. And now Audi's great merit, putting the DSG/Dual Tronic into production cars, finaly.  |
