I've found in both my old RS5 and current S7, hitting a corner hard and on the gas, or keeping a fast pace through twistys, or quick and hard gas, brake, gas causes the trans to hold gears longer for a period of time when in S mode. But after a few seconds of normal driving the car goes back to "normal" shifting

Any audi techs or engineers around?

I assume similar logic that's being used for seat belt tensioning is what's going on.
honestly, before drive by wire was a thing, it was not possible to do this. However, I have seen this done on multiple vehicles with varying results. I agree with Xtek, even if i drive in "S", if i've been cruising for a while, and suddenly stomp, it's pretty underwhelming. Come to a full stop, and stomp, and it' still underwhelming. Switch back to D, and then back to S and stomp....BOOM.

but maybe i'm insane
