What is tiptronic?

Tiptronic is a type of automatic transmission that allows the driver to manually upshift or downshift gears without the need for a clutch pedal. This feature is often found in high-performance vehicles and sports cars. It is able to provide faster shift times than a traditional automatic transmission, allowing for a more engaging driving experience. Tiptronic is a registered trademark of the German car manufacturer Porsche, but similar systems are used by other car manufacturers under different names such as Sportronic, Steptronic, and Geartronic.
