How does the Multitronic transmission work on the Audi A6?

I'm interested in learning more about the Audi A6's Multitronic transmission and how it differs from other types of transmissions. Could someone explain how it works and any potential benefits or drawbacks compared to other transmissions?

The Multitronic transmission on the Audi A6 uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to deliver smooth acceleration and fuel efficiency. It works by using a combination of chains, pulleys, and cones to provide an infinite number of gear ratios instead of fixed gears like a traditional transmission. This allows for better performance and fuel economy, but some drivers may find the lack of shifting sensation to be less engaging.
