All these rumours about 420bhp, or 500bhp etc.

Any rumours of a DSG gearbox :nodder:

DSG is good news... :)

but hopefully it's programming makes more sense, and logic isn't copied from A3 3.2 DSG. It always downshifts, for example when in 6th gear in manual mode, pressing throttle fully. Kind of looses the point of immediate N/A-thrust, when DSG starts to look for the 2nd gear, instead of digging into the torque. :?

That would be good, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.

But is DSG capable of withstanding 400/500bhp?

Bad news, Today's Autocar says Audi not developing DSG for inline engines just for transverse. Hope they change their mind!
