    Im guessing the Q5, then the S4 and S5. Great News from Audi. I like the torque handling and engine speed figures as well!

    Kerso,

    Are you not commenting on any future models to be offered this gearbox. Surely you could think of one or two, I know I can.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    One more link HERE!

    What about the R8? R-tronic or the new DSG???
    I am not good with mechanics, is this unit same/similar as in the M3 DSG/DCT??

    I wonder why only quattro - is the Torsen diff built into that housing too or is it some kind of marketing thing?

    Not sure if 550Nm is enought for new 290ps 3.0 TDi - depends if that engine makes its extra power through torque or revs

    See where you can "Translate a Web Page"? Copy&Paste the original link in german, than choose "German To English" and than click on Translate.

    So, this is why there isn't A5 3.0 TDI quattro Tiptronic on offer for so long...

    translation worked pretty well.

    Ill bet the s-tronic improves 0-60 times by 0.2sec over manual.

    Would be cool to see launch control too in the S/RS models.

    I have ordered A4 may be 2 weeks ago with the tiptronic gearbox.
    What are the other differences between The tiptronic gearbox and the new DSG, not taking into account fast gear changes? I meen difference in driving, not technical ones.

    should we expect the R8 to go with DSG or stick to the R-tronic transmission? (either V8 or V10 engines)

    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Does anyone know if the DSG gearbox is lighter than the R-tronic gearbox?
