The simple answer is to be first. They wanted to be the first to introduce a dual clutch to something other than fwd or ultra expensive (veyron). Porsche, VAG and Nissan were all fighting to be first and though Nissan beat them they still probably want to be Audi and Porsche as both were German.
The surprise was not the fact that there were faults, it was that the faults were sorted in record time.
Well all the ones that can be checked on a public road.
