Would I be right in assuming the numbers 477, 436 and 350 refer to the amount of torque they can 'hold'?

No i don't think so. Those are just production/testing codes. The 436 is said to be able to handle up to 600 Nm torque so the 477 will handle even more.



Does anyone know good French?

This is one of the rumours.

Getrag has developed a series of DCT transmissions:
DCT 477 - transaxle longitudinal, 7-speed, 700Nm, wet concentric clutches, hydraulic actuation
DCT 436 - inline, 7-speed, 600Nm, wet concentric clutches, hydraulic actuation
DCT 250 - front transversal, 6-speed, 250Nm, dry clutches, 3-shaft design, electromechanical actuation
DCT MPS6 PowerShift(tm) - front transversal, 6-speed, 450Nm, wet parallel clutches, 3-shaft design, hydraulic actuation
DCT SPS6 PowerShift(tm) - front transversal, 6-speed, 450Nm, wet parallel clutches, 2x2-shaft design, hydraulic actuation

I only got a confirmation 7-speed DCT 436 (600Nm max) will be used in BMW vehicles.

Not sure about DCT 477 & DCT 250. While DCT MPS6 & SPS6 are exclusivelly for Ford Group.

Some say DCT 477 will be combined with BMW diesel engines, but I doubt it. Getrag makes transaxles for Audi & Porsche only. So DCT 477 could be either for Porsche or new top-end Audis.

PS: The gearbox in the pic is DCT 436 by Getrag
