-
Increased Torque Capacity (up to 1000 Nm): With recalibrated torque limiters and enhanced clutch pressure, Stage 4 enables your DQ500 gearbox to manage up to 1000 Nm of torque with greater control and stability, making it ideal for extreme power applications. The result is smooth power delivery and unmatched durability, even under the most demanding conditions.
-
Optimised Shift Performance: Stage 4 delivers fast, smooth gear changes across all driving modes (D, S, M), with reduced shift delay and enhanced paddle responsiveness for quick, sharp gear changes. The advanced shift logic ensures instant power delivery in every scenario, allowing for a more engaging and responsive driving experience, whether on the road or track. Additionally, selectable options such as automatic upshift/downshift deactivation in Manual (M) mode and kick-down deactivation give drivers ultimate control. This allows the driver to customise the shifting behaviour to match their driving style.
-
Advanced Launch Control with Boost on Launch Mode: The multi-step launch control system in Stage 4 provides explosive yet controlled launches, with faster clutch engagement and adjustable RPM limits to deliver consistent performance. Boost on Launch Mode adds an additional layer of excitement, featuring a rally-inspired "pops and bangs" sound during launches, giving your starts a more aggressive, dynamic feel.
-
Special Race Clutch Characteristics Calibration: Specifically calibrated for race clutches, Stage 4 optimises power transfer while maintaining smooth driveability, even in high-stress driving conditions. These clutches are engineered to handle extreme torque and provide precise, durable performance under maximum load.
-
Special Anti-Judder Take-Off Functionality: Designed to minimise clutch vibration, Stage 4’s anti-judder functionality ensures smoother, more aggressive take-offs, especially in high-torque applications, giving you full control and confidence during launches.
-
Thermal Management & Durability: Stage 4 includes advanced thermomanagement and clutch cooling systems to keep your DQ500 gearbox operating at optimal temperatures under heavy load. This system protects critical components from overheating, ensuring long-term reliability even during extreme driving conditions.
-
Improved Driveability: Even at this extreme performance level, Stage 4 enhances daily driving comfort with smoother shifts and reduced clutch slip, ensuring that your Audi RS3 8.5V remains both road and track-ready. The combination of power and driveability makes Stage 4 the perfect balance between performance and practicality.
