R-Tronic is the white one and the V10 manual x races is the blue one​
DAMN that V10 sounds HOT !​

I'd assume drivetrain loss. A robotized single clutch automatic will have quite a bit more parasitic loss than a standard manual, i.e. less power to the wheels. I'm curious what a R Tronic car puts down on a dyno compared to an equivalent traditional 6 speed car.

Was not expecting that outcome. Nice!

The guy driving the manual is also a hell of a driver. Listen to how quick his shifts are? Also, I bet there would be a huge difference in outcome if they started from a dig.

this. i bet he has more fun with the 6MT as well.

^ In one sense, perhaps. I think however, the key point of the "flappy paddles" is that the AVERAGE person can experience lightning fast and, most importantly, consistent shifts. Of course it's possible to shift quite fast and smoothly with a conventional gearbox, but how many laymen would be able to shift like this guy on a regular basis?

well thats kind of the idea of a fast sports car/ super car. i understand that these e gear semi autos are quick and whatnot, and more for everyone, but isn't the point of driving these cars to feel engaged and "one with the car"
