Why does audi not use dct on its rs models and the s8... pretty sure the s7 I drove had a dct.If its just the torque issue Porsche seems to have no problems with its torque monster v8 turbos in the panamera either and if I am not wrong the 911 turbo has some nasty torque figures as well for the dct to handle.

I have two ZF's now and while its nowhere near the performance of the DCT- the TCU software in both the Jag and the RS7 help it out vs the MCT in the AMG.

The only way they can ever introduce it on the S8 and higher end RS models is if they further enhance and strengthen their DSG even further.........and it's going to cost additional $$$ for R&D and manufacturing. Heck, Audi just introduced the S-tronic for the R8 V10 LMX so it's gonna take a while for a further upgrade. OH AND IF I MAY ADD. I read something over at the Macan forums on why the Macan has PDK while the Cayenne does not have. A Porsche engineer said that their current PDK IS NOT YET READY for heavy-duty towing applications............something relating to gear positioning or something Quote:

so curiously then, what do you all think of the gearbox they are mating to the new X5M? I believe that DCT will only be available on the X6M...
I'm guessing the gearbox selection is tied to weight and AWD, but not sure. http://www.caranddriver.com/bmw/x5-m

Maybe... I think Scott alluded to the fact the 8-speed with drivelogic might some form of DCT. He has provided accurate insight time and time again so we will see how that plays out.
