Tiptronic transmission is usually used in performance cars or sportscars. This technology is also known as manumatic. Pioneered by German sportscar manufacturer Porche in the '90s, the Tiptronic transmission works similarly to a manual gearbox, but it uses a torque converter instead of a clutch pedal.
The Tiptronic transmission comes with an option for the driver to override the automatic gear changing mode with manual selection of gears, which is preferred by many drivers who love old-school driving charm. The Tiptronic transmission system comes with a built-in safety feature that prevents the driver from damaging the gearbox while he or she over-revs during downshifting.
In India, Audi A8 sedan, Porsche Cayenne Coupe uses this transmission technology.
