The transmission is a seven-speed S-Tronic. The two propulsion systems can combine to produce a maximum torque output of 738 pound-feet (same as the 6.0-liter diesel in the Q7 TDI), for brief periods when the accelerator is floored and the driver hits the star button on the steering wheel.
The system relies on torque vectoring rather than electronic traction control to control wheelspin. The enginee
