Default Direct-Shift Gearbox Power Capability

I guess its too early to ask, but what the heck.

Anyone know how much power this new direct-shift gearbox can handle?

It could be a winner if its as well built as the 6-speed.

Default Looks like a derivative of it is on the Veyron so I'd say anything is possible...

No idea what max load of the TT version will be tho.

I have a strong suspicion that it will be on the Gallardo as well

The tranny spec is 350nm, and curiously the 3.2 engine peaks at 320nm.

And even more curious, the current 6-speed is also rated at 350nm. Anyone blow one up yet?
