Audi developed a new stepless transmission named Multitronic. This new transmission is stepless because there is no gear change as exhibited on a modern An automatic transmission is an automobile gearbox that can change gear ratios automatically as the car moves, thus freeing the driver from having to shift gears United States since the 1950s have had automatic transmissions.

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.
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.
