Anything is possible with unlimited time and money. However I don't recall seeing anyone attempt this. The harder parts might be software and electrical incompatibilities. I think it usually ends up being cheaper and easier to sell the S6 and buy an RS6 or RS7. Understandably neither is a sedan and perhaps where you are located it is inexpensive to acquire an RS6 transmission I don't know, but I can only assume it is not for the faint of heart.

RS Gearbox with low mileage its not so expensive ,its cost about 1500 eur , my clutch replacement with all spare parts at the audi dealer costs about 2000-2200 eur (this is only clutch wthout mechatronic ),RS6 Engine block is the same as S6,so mechanicaly it must be bolt on ,the only question is with wiring and software compatibility ,i allready have installed TurboSystems hybrid turbos ,and am afraid that my original gearbox won,t handle this
