Default That's the time for the Tiptronic version.

I've noticed a couple of times where auto makers are quoting just one number for 0-60 and I assume they are using the slower of the two transmissions.

Default I think if you check, that time is 0-100 Kilometers per hour which is

0-62.5 mph which is 4 % more. Subtracting 4% gets you to 5.376. Since the car comes out in europe first, they are 0-100 kph times and you don't see 0-60 mph times until later.

This is also what happened with the B6 I believe.
