Product Overview
Dodson ProMax 9 Plate Clutch Kit – Lamborghini Huracan & Audi R8 V10 (DMS-8016)
When pushing the Lamborghini Huracán or Audi R8 V10 beyond factory performance levels, a reliable drivetrain becomes just as important as engine power. The Dodson ProMax 9 Plate Clutch Kit DMS-8016 is engineered for high-horsepower applications where the original clutch assembly may struggle with increased torque and demanding driving conditions.
Developed specifically for the DL800 dual-clutch transmission, the Dodson ProMax 9 combines advanced friction technology, reinforced billet components and precision engineering to deliver improved strength and thermal performance.
Whether you are building a high-powered road car, preparing a track-focused supercar or developing a competitive drag racing application, this Dodson Motorsport clutch upgrade provides a robust foundation for transmitting increased engine output.
Engineered for High-Horsepower Performance
Increasing the output of the naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine or adding forced induction places substantially greater demands on the factory clutch system.
Under repeated high-load acceleration, elevated torque and heat can contribute to clutch wear and reduced power-transfer efficiency.
The Dodson ProMax 9 Plate Clutch Kit addresses these challenges through reinforced components and an increased friction plate configuration.
Unlike a basic replacement clutch, the ProMax system is designed as a comprehensive high-performance upgrade for demanding DL800 applications.
Nine-Plate Dual-Clutch Configuration
The DMS-8016 features nine friction plates in each of the DL800’s two clutch packs.
This 9+9 arrangement provides additional friction capacity compared with the standard clutch configuration, supporting increased torque transfer in modified vehicles.
High-performance friction materials work alongside precision-manufactured steel plates to provide consistent engagement under demanding operating conditions.
Dodson’s specially developed wave spring technology also helps the clutch plates separate during shifting, contributing to controlled clutch operation.
Billet Construction and Reinforced Components
A key advantage of the Dodson ProMax series is its extensively reinforced construction.
The DMS-8016 incorporates:
- High-strength steel clutch baskets
- Precision-machined billet components
- Billet aluminium pistons
- Heat-treated clutch steels
- Performance friction materials
- Reinforced clutch assembly components
These components are designed to withstand the additional mechanical demands associated with high-output Lamborghini Huracán and Audi R8 applications.
Dodson uses precision manufacturing processes to maintain component tolerances and reduce potential stress concentrations.
Improved Thermal Management
Clutch temperature management becomes increasingly important as power increases.
Repeated acceleration, high-load driving and demanding motorsport use generate substantial heat within the transmission assembly.
The Dodson ProMax system incorporates oil-flow and friction-material design features intended to improve heat dissipation and help maintain clutch performance.
Effective cooling, appropriate transmission servicing and suitable calibration remain essential for reliability.
