man, this felt so much faster then most of the 800+hp cars lately

because of consistency in corners and over the lap after all ... nice drive and no yellows ... that also gave a faster feel of the lap.

Jerko can make anything possible

[@sunsetgarage755]

Audi wasn’t able to make the DQ500 box fit, which is the only box that can handle the torque. They didn’t say it couldn’t be DSG, just the engineers knew they couldn’t do it with the box it needed. This is almost certainly the smaller DQ250 box which isn’t going to last very long with the power of the engine.
