Shame they can't hide it in the badge like some of the VAG cars.

It is nice to see that they expect people to track it though
I suspect that is it not only the transmission oil cooler that is hampered by the ACC. The G8X is likely configured the same way as the F8X where multiple radiators are stacked one in front of the other: transmission/AC/intercooler coolant/engine coolant. The engineer does give a good hint: if you plan to track a lot, avoid optioning the ACC.
