Default Audi launches 7-speed dsg

Quote:


Audi has finally announced the launch of its version of VW Group’s new seven-speed dual clutch transmission, which will be used to replace the current six-speed units over the next 12 months. The new gearbox, dubbed S-tronic in Audi-speak, is designed to work with longitudinally installed engines and quattro all-wheel drive, plus it can handle torque figures of up to 550Nm and engine speeds of 9,000rpm.

One of the primary limitations of the older six-speed gearbox was the inability to handle torque figures higher than 320Nm, however Audi has solved the problem with the latest model. Read Article

Is this a AUDI engineering or that company who came up with the DSG?
I guess that VW/Audi are allowed to brag about something they didn't engineer.
anyways that thing is sweet!!! I want that tranny. shame Audi's are over priced. I hope they use that thing on VWs.

For those who didn't notice, this thing can hold enough torque to be dropped into the RS and S range of vehicles. The last 6 speed DSG wasn't strong enough to hold much beyond the A3.

Questions that still need to be answered:

How much does it weigh, versus the out-going 6-speed?

What kind of efficiency improvement is it going to give versus the old unit?

oh yea, and how much of a premium?
