V10 R- versus S-tronic
V10 R- versus S-tronic
Gents,
Sorry if there are already multiple threads on this. Did a (quick) look and didnt find any apparentones.
I am interested in first hand experiences and comments on the difference between R-tronic and S-tronic V10 R8s.
Basically my question is: Is S-tronic worth the money, or am I very fine off with the R-tronic?
(An assumption from my side is that the S tronic, being double clutch, would last much longer... correct?)
cheers

Re: V10 R- versus S-tronic
Theres something in between IMO .... Map the TCU and the R-Tronic is super quick, a lot smoother and no jerking at low speeds. I personally like the R-Tronic's feel to remind myself that I'm in something special.
Drove a Ferrari 458 Speciale and even with their great dual clutch GB, it changes gears violently ( not totally smooth) when you are on the limit and it felt Epic.

Too much power is barely enough.
Re: V10 R- versus S-tronic
Yeah the issue with RT is the speed more, and auto mode
Re: V10 R- versus S-tronic
Don't get me wrong... RT has it's charm when driven properly but it's ancient tech and like DK says is painfully slow and dim witted in traffic / auto mode.

Re: V10 R- versus S-tronic
Is Is the R8's R-Tronic basically the same as BMW's SMG transmission, being a Sequential Manual rather than an Auto.

Re: V10 R- versus S-tronic
That was a bad analogy! I think you meant that digital is better than analogue but in many cases it isn't. Who would take a digital watch or an analogue one? And many would still argue that analogue music sounds better than digital. And game controllers now have analogue controls rather than digital.iR8V10 wrote:Analogue vs. Digital
But I get your point with the rest of your good examples!

How do they differ on the road? I recall the SMGIII in my E60 M5 was great fun in Manual mode, but horrific in Auto & thus was never used again in that mode. In savage setting the thump in the back when changing with the paddles i found exhilarating when used, but like most owners, mine failed & was replaced under warranty & i sold the car soon after that.

Re: V10 R- versus S-tronic
The R8 is better on the road
I found the M6 to be dumb as hell in auto, really slow to change and made the car feel like a 2.0
The R8 is better.
The problem is the speed of the changes in Auto
When in sport and using paddles it's not to bad as per SMG
