Okay, I'm confused. Window sticker says manual, interior says auto.

I was looking at an R8 today and here's the window sticker:
.. okay, i guess I need 15 posts to put up a picture. nevermind.

The inside of the car (no picture) looks like the shifter on an automatic, but the window sticker says manual. (Six-speed R tronic transmission - included)
I'm going back to the dealership tomorrow, but maybe someone can tell me whats going on.. I doubt the sticker is wrong?

Or maybe I'm just dumb and "six-speed r tronic transmission" means automatic.
A bit of a dumb question, since ill go back tomorrow, but it doesnt hurt to ask.

r-tonic is audi's version of a automatic.....it has f1 style gear selectors on the steering wheel, as well as upshift and downshift on the shifter....plus the automatic mode.....no clutch pedal

Ahh, I see. So it IS an automatic.

Great, thanks! I knew something was wrong.

Technically, it is NOT an automatic, the R-Tronic is an automated manual gearbox with an electro/hydralic actuation of the clutch. It has an auto mode to change gears automatically and approximates a slush pump automatic.
