When awd is designed properly it can be a real benefit, GTR has proven that. If Audi can balance out the front and rear weights and reduce the overall weight as well then I think the RS5 will not only drive as well as the M3 but will give you more options with the throttle and how you want to attack a corner.
P.S.
By the way I don't believe the RS5 will be as good to drive as the M3 but it will out handle it and produces better track times. It will be up to each individual to decide whether they want to be entertained or be the quickest.

Footie don't let everyone know about the new AWD systems. Let them live in the old days.
Audi has already made one the most responsive, tossable, slideable, AWD cars ever in the R8.
