The Trackhawk also has a
new, more robust version
of FCA's TorqueFlite eight - speed automatic
transmission with stronger everything, a strengthened rear drive shaft, a tougher single - speed transfer case with a wider
chain, a four - pinion differential with bigger teeth and either Pirelli Scorpion or three - season Pirelli P - Zero tires.
The A4 and the A6 will have a
new CVT (continuously variable
transmission) available that operates like an automatic
transmission but doesn't shift gears exactly, as it essentially has an infinite number
of gear settings available (it uses pulleys and
chains inside) that maximize performance and economy.
