To my knowledge, fancy gearboxes don't like torque porker engines. There is a special order Ricardo twin-clutch, but it's highly/too expensive. AMG switched to NA engines but it's still loyal to its torque-ish philosophy.
Ofcourse will have to see if the upcomimg twins and/or sequentials can stand more torque vs. price.
