Default Mother of all Trannys, the 7-speed VW/Audi DSG

Don't have any info on it other than this is what's going in the 1,000hp Bugatti Veryron.



FWIW I have some seat time in the BMW SMG..... really don't like it that much. Haven't driven an Audi DSG yet, but I hear it is amazingly smooth but can't handle power. This new 7-speed DSG is built to do just that. There is a rumor that this tranny will be avaialble for the 450hp RS4 slated to go head to head with the M3/CTS-V/C55

Man I love competition!

You know, that MB has a 8-speed version.

Since when? First off Mercedes outsources for it's manual transmissions. At least the last time I checked. The only transmissions they build in house are their own 5 and 7 speed TORQUE CONVERTER Automatics. They currently do NOT have a sequential manual gearbox of their own. I don't know where you're pulling this information from.

The Veyron is almost as badass as the W12 VW IMO.
