R8 - Irritating
Discussion
Yes, simply order the car with the correct gearbox, the manual one.
Only other alternative is to put it into neutral yourself and that way it wont do it without you knowing/noticing.
We've all been there reving the engine going nowhere and only then realising what its done, I agree it is irritating, but it stops the clucth overheating.
Blaim Lamborghini, its their box.

Yeah, with the DSG/S-tronic box as well the manual says to put it into neutral if you are going to be stopped for any length of time. Apparently the clutches are held at biting point when the car is at a stop and 'in gear', you have to select N position to properly disengage them.
As I had just moved over from a manual car I made sure I got into the habit from day one of putting my S-tronic into N every time I know I'm going to be stopped for more than a few seconds. It's no problem but I could see that if you were used to a traditional auto it might be hard to get into the routine.
