By far the most successful car Audi makes, performance wise, is the R8.
It features every typical Audi trait, bar one, the very front-engined layout.

If Audi fixed the front heavy characteristic of their cars, ie; the understeer, for better balance, who knows how good they could be. But instead, they make an RS3 with wider front wheels than the rear.

I'm no engineer, and I don't think they should omit the terrific Quattro system, but instead try to re-emulate the R8 driving characteristics with their other cars.

Just imagine if the RS5, RS3, TTRS etc could all drift/handle like the R8. Then M division would have something to really worry about.
