Multitronic nu leverbaar bij drie motoren Audi A6 Traploze perfectie
De door Audi ontwikkelde multitronic is een continu variabele transmissie zonder de oude nadelen van het principe, terwijl alle voordelen worden uitgebuit voor optimale schakelstrategieën.
De multitronic is zo uniek doordat dit het eerste systeem is dat meer comfort biedt zonder dat er iets op dynamiek en/of rendement hoeft to worden ingeleverd.
Audi multitronic (907 words)
The multitronic is the first transmission of its kind not to pay the high price of poorer dynamism and economy for the added convenience it brings.
For example, Audi's technical specialists have modified the variator of the continuously variable transmission by adopting a new transmission element known as the link-plate chain, to handle the high forces and torques that are developed constantly by the six-cylinder engine with a peak torque of 280 Newton-metres.
The Audi A6 with multitronic accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h 1.3 seconds faster than with the geared automatic transmission, and is even one-tenth of a second faster from 0 to 100 km/h than an equivalent model driven with optimum use of the 5-speed gearbox.
