According to company insiders speaking with Car and Driver , the herky-jerky gearbox will likely be dispatched in favor of Audi’s new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The German automaker is apparently looking to design a smaller modular platform leveraging the expertise it used to develop the front-engine sedan platform that underpins the new A8 and forthcoming A7 , among others.
