I doubt it - the current capacity is 3300 lbs, and
that appears to be limited more by marketing than engineering. The mechanically similar European models (both 2.5 td and 2.7t) are rated at around 2300kg or nearly 5000lbs.

Different (advertised) tow capacities between US & Europe -- AR 2.7T
From the Audi Collection site (US):
"Maximum towing weight of 3300 lbs. (braked trailer). "
From the Audi UK site:
"Trailer weight limit
- unbraked (kg) 750
- braked on 12% gradient (kg) 2100
- braked on 8% gradient (kg) 2300"
