My guess is they are showing their move to the 7 speed S-tronic twin clutch which gives lightning fast shifts on a slightly more powerful V10, which coincidentally are both based off the Lamborghini Gallardo which is now also owned by VW. All previous models were equipped with the 6 speed R-tronic and a slightly less powerful V10 (525 vs 542 bhp).

The adrenaline-fuelling Audi R8 driving experience is about to be charged with even greater intensity by a new S tronic twin-clutch sports transmission delivering blink-of-an-eye gear shifts and improved sprinting ability. The ultra-rapid transmission is just one highlight of the 2013 Model Year R8 range, which also now features new design detailing and all-LED lighting across the board, equipment upgrades for most models and a new, even more powerful and focused version of the V10 Coupé – the 550PS V10 plus.
