Audi A4's new six-speed manual transmission boasts faster acceleration
25 Sep 2016|3,476 views
The 2017 A4 with six-speed manual sprints from 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds, an improvement of 0.7 seconds over the previous generation. The greater performance enabled by the newly redesigned, six-speed manual transmission is due primarily to its spur-gear stage, which replaces the shaft to the front-axle differential used on the previous models.
The new six-speed manual transmission complements the performance produced by the A4's 2.0 TFSI engine, which generates 252bhp and 370Nm of torque. A significant weight saving was achieved across the A4 model line through the lightweight construction. The front five-link suspension continues to allow for greater steering precision and excellent handling through optimised steering-rack placement direct at wheel centres.
The A4 with manual transmission also features a new quattro all-wheel drive system with ultra technology that is optimised for fully-variable torque distribution and efficiency. The new drivetrain utilises an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch at the rear end of the transmission along with an integrated decoupler in the rear axle differential and weighs 4kg less than the previous quattro system.
This quattro system with ultra technology allows for intelligent, proactive control of the all-wheel drive system to predictively modify the torque application as the driving situation or road conditions require.
