Audi Sees Dual Clutch Transmissions Making Into 90% Of Lineup

'In the future, I expect that 90% of our transmissions will be double-clutch,' Hatz told Motor Trend Online. He went on to say the technology will expand beyond small-displacement, lower-powered models, suggesting the latest dual-clutch offering on the Audi Q5 and S4 would be adequate for the majority of Audi's lineup with its ability to handle power in the neighborhood of 440 lb-ft of torque. Hatz added the technology would be available in the future on the 'supersport' segment -- and possibly a future R8 -- though no specific timeframe was mentioned.
