      @@JackMott False. We're comparing two identical cars. A higher horsepower AWD car will have far more parasitic loss of power getting to the tires vs RWD where the engine is feeding it directly. The AWD version will be significantly heavier and because of the front driven axle it will understeer. I have the 540 hp RWD version from 2021 and I'm significantly faster on a circuit than I was in the 610 hp AWD. The R8 LMS/GT3 is also rear powered.

Suppose you were on a much tighter circuit where putting power down on corner exit is a struggle for the RWD car, or a circuit with a much less sticky surface, or a tight circuit in cold weather.

    So you want to say that Dacia Jogger has the same brake performance as Audi R8 RWD at 60mph. I think that is a win for Dacia.

    These plastic shifter paddles on an otherwise great steering wheel are really a bad joke on a >100k car. Especially as it‘s a part you’re constantly touching. I didn’t enjoy them in my S5 - I would hate them in a R8. Porsche and Mercedes/AMG (even BMW to a certain degree) do a better job on those.
    So many bits on the interior (middle console etc.) are also the same in an A4.
    I‘d rather get a „cheap“ Porsche with a great engine (Cayman GTS 4.0) with the same interior as the top Line (Turbo S) than a super expensive R8 with the same interior as an everyday middle class A4 family saloon.
