Whats a sportronic transmission?

Question

I'm looking to buy a car that either has a manual and a sportronic transmition. I've heard of automatic and manual but its the first I've heard of sportronic. Is it like manual and if so how do u drive it if not how do you drive a sportronic car.

Answer 1

probably has paddle shifters like a F1 car..

Answer 2

It's an automatic transmission with an electronic controlled manual mode. You'd have the option to drive manual without using a clutch pedal, as well as automatic. While in sportronic you'd have the option to shift between the different gears without worrying about s******g up your powertrain, because the computer won't let you redline. It's a nice way to squeeze more power from your car without having to floor it all the time.That's basically it.

Answer 3

Clutchless transmission.  You just shift up(+) and down(-) without using the clutch.
