But I understand it's rated to about 258 lb-ft -- the 3.2l's rated output is 236 lb-ft, so there's a small amount of headroom, but not as much as you suggest.

I'll poke around some more with the DQ450 number, which I've never seen before -- but I would love confirmation.

hp = torque x rpm / 5252

DQ250 = 250 Nm = 184.4 ft-lbs
DQ450 = 350 Nm = 331.9 ft-lbs

These conversion from <a href="http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter">this website</a>, click on Energy on the left then select your units..

Are you sure we don't have the DQ350, meaning 350 Nm which is about 258 ft-lbs?

That sounds more in-line with what the torque on the 3.2 TT's is..

since when do they make an R32 with a DSG trans? (Europe maybe?)

And which model is in the Veyron? 922 lb-ft

Marc3.2TT

Yes, Europe only - excluding the UK as well. IIRC only 250 were made, or maybe that was just France.

Marc3.2TT

Yes, that would the... hum... DQ1250 :-P

Greyhaven7

you mean the DQ-OMG

Kinda. The curves are different. You can add hp by increasing RPM without increasing torque.
