We don't usually talk about car parts over here, but the new Audi S tronic gearbox really rocks and deserves attention because it can handle up to 406 lb.-ft. of torque. And that's a LOT. If the S tronic (WV DSG) was a great solution for those that needed to shift manually on an automatic gearbox, it had a small downsize: only cars withless then 258 lb-ft used it. Things are about to change.
The Europeans will first get the new gearbox in the Q5 SUV and the S5 coupe, where it'll supplant the 6-speed auto. The bad thing (for now) is that the S tronic is not going to be available in the States any time soon. Too bad!
