High torque DSG gearbox

Post by NickB » Tue Mar 22, 2005 11:45 pm

Acording to this months Evo mag (and of course they're always right :lol: ) they reckon that the new Bugatti Veyron will be supplied with a new VW DSG gearbox for its 1000PS engine!
If VW can manage that for 1000 horses surely they can make one for the (somewhat limp in comparison) 420PS new RS4 engine? Are Evo talking out of their backsides or is there some truth in it. Can anyone in the know (Robin?) comment on this.

This is the only longitudaly mounted DSG around.
This is the test mule so to speak for all the new VW, Audi and Porsche cars for 2008.

All the Audi's and Porsches will come with DSG, replacing the ole Tip in the MY2008.

The RS4 will NOT have it offered, at the moment it's 6mt only....
