There is an Allroad gearbox in Germany looks to be a 01E, but a bit pricey.

Oops, Allroad has the wrong final drive, 4.375
Although it has a better 2nd gear ratio, the S8 01E (DGV and FRN) 2nd is 1.889 and I can tell you its too long, it struggles under 2500rpm when really it needs to be useable from 2000rpm. Using 1st to crawl in traffic above 2000rpm is horrible, too jerky.
Allroad ratios here. Mental 1st gear, 3.75! That would be one fast car from stop.
