transmission as an optional. It does however feature steering
wheel paddle shifters if you wish to have control of the gears

A centre differential, installed longitudinally in the driveline, distributes power between the front and rear wheels, always according to the prevailing situation.

This slightly rear-biased torque split has been chosen to place even greater emphasis on the sporty, dynamic character of the Audi S6.
