Couple days ago I `ve passed throw engine diagnostics at service centre(that showed my engine was OK), resetted my ECU & now have the following results for 0-60 mph:
bit more than 8 seconds launching from 0 rpm, automatic shifting
bit less than 8 seconds with power braking & launching from 2000 rpm, shifting up tiptronic at 7000 rpm
VDC Off, Climate Off

In the video it seemed as though your 0-60 time was slightly less than 8.0 seconds.
It has been mentioned, but with no brake torquing and heavy 20" rims, this time isn't very surprising at all. The magazine 5AT times are not done with the longevity of the car in mind, if you know what I mean.
This may have been mentioned but you're using a gasoline at least equivalent to the USDM 91 octane, right? And as warm as you said it was, the conditions are less than ideal.

Altitude Makes A Difference
It could be the fact that you are not power braking or your tires arent up to par or something but honestly it could be because of your altitude. The higher it is the worse your car performs like I live in New Mexico where its above 7000 feet and my car hits 60 in around 7 seconds so you could look into that too! Good Luck diagnosing your problem.
