The transmission in the S6/S7 is the 7 speed dual clutch transmission.

The A8, S8, RS7, etc use the same 8 speed. The article implies the transmission is further modified for the S8 Plus and RS7 Performance.

I got my RS6 in Albany, and at that time they also had three on the lot LOL.....not many folks in the market for a 100,000 dollar plus car!

I was considering a Shelby GT350, but FORD is allowing dealers to charge 20 grand markup even for FACTORY ORDERS. They can keep that POS. At $53 k the performance sounded fun, but at 74K I just assume get an S6 or S7 and enjoy the 1,000,000 x better interior and build quality. FORD IS NUTS.
