    Sorry, but the Veyron's transmission is not an automatic. It will shift for you only when you tell it to, otherwise it is a 7-speed DSG manual.

    "Putting this power to the ground is a dual-clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission with 7 gear ratios via shifter paddles behind the steering wheel boasting an 8 ms shift time. The Veyron can be driven by full automatic transmission. The Veyron also features full-time all-wheel drive based on the Haldex system. It uses special Michelin run-flat tires designed specifically for the Veyron to accommodate the vehicle's top speed.

    Curb weight is estimated at 1890 kg (4,160lb). This gives the car a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne, which is great for this type of car."


    like all the high end BMW and Benz

    automatic with a manual mode

    or a SMT,like the MR2 Spyder has....but the MR2-S doesnt have a auto mode
