Who gives a frak about the power its putting down, if Audi's track record has proven anything with their RS models, it's that they understeer like pigs in the corners where ///M cars smoke tires in their face just for fun. I don't have high hopes whatsoever for anything Audi puts out anymore. Until they figure out how to push their engines lower down and further back from the front axles, they aren't going to even be in the same league in the handling department (not talking about the R8, that's just a cheap version of a Gallardo).

Finally someone whos not arguing with the Audi Fanboy.
I expect the new RS3 to steer even worse, thanks to the MQB (Modularer Querbaukasten) which they use in all new models of VAG.
So basicly every car they produce from now on is built on the same plattform.

This is to safe money, and increase their profits. Not to make a better handling car.
Talking about reduced chasis stiffness, and you can almost bet the components used for suspensions are "recycled" from other models.
You can belt a rocket to a pig, it still will be a pig.
