How does the Audi R8's dual clutch transmission work?

I have heard that the Audi R8 uses a dual clutch transmission, but I am not sure how it differs from a traditional automatic transmission. Can someone explain how it works?

The dual clutch transmission in the Audi R8 utilizes two separate clutches to provide near-instant gear changes without interrupting power delivery. This allows for smoother shifts and faster acceleration.

A

In a dual clutch transmission, one clutch controls the odd-numbered gears while the other controls the even-numbered gears. This allows for more efficient shifting and improved fuel economy in the Audi R8.

E

The Audi R8's dual clutch transmission also has a manual mode, allowing the driver to take full control of gear changes using paddles on the steering wheel.
