I've heard a lot about the dual-clutch transmission in the Audi R8, but I'm not entirely sure how it works and what makes it different from a traditional automatic transmission. Can someone explain?

The dual-clutch transmission in the Audi R8 uses two separate clutches for even and odd numbered gears, allowing for lightning-fast gear shifts without any interruption in power delivery. It essentially combines the sportiness of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic.

The dual-clutch transmission in the Audi R8 operates using a unique two-shaft system, which uses one shaft for even gears and the other for odd gears. When one clutch is engaged, the other is disengaged, allowing for a seamless shift between gears.
