Two transmissions compared

Click to start the acceleration process of two practically identical vehicles. The difference lies in the transmission. The animation shows you the main differences between a 6-speed manual gearbox and the Direct Shift Gearbox DSG with regard to acceleration and power transmission behaviour.

A question of personality

Which transmission drivers prefer is not solely a question of technical specifications, but also a matter of personal perception.

In terms of performance figures, the Direct Shift Gearbox offers the sportiest mode of power transmission. In comparison to a manual gearbox or the multitronic and tiptronic semi-automatic transmission systems, DSG drives the vehicle forward very fast and economically under the same conditions.

Combined with the means of operation, a car with Direct Shift Gearbox gives you the feeling of driving a racing car. Compared with a manual gearbox it produces better acceleration figures or more economical fuel consumption depending on driving style.

The combination of these two characteristics puts the Direct Shift Gearbox DSG at a new level of evolution in transmission technology.
