why was the Etron II rwd an not quattro? because it was a concept? or will the real car also rwd? i hope not

the most sources quote that the R4 etron roadster will be rear-wheel-drive like the Etron II from detroit. . why fu....ing rwd and not quattro? i hope that the rwd will stand alone with the etron II and the real car comes with quattro. anyone has info ??? i would hate audi for doing an rwd car. i love quattro to death.

plz, has anyone a info about the R4 being quattro ???

i cant complain why audi is building concepts with rwd like the etron II. that hurts in my quattro heart.

from a guy over fourtitude.com

The e-tron 1 had 4 electro motors in each wheel making it a quattro.
I would make no sense to give the e-tron II also 4 electro motors, that's why it had only 2 motors in each rear wheel.
According to sources the e-tron II is VW BlueSport based, a transverse mid engine RWD car.
If this is the case the e-tron II (R4) will also be a transverse mid engine RWD car.
The transverse mid engine layout make it very difficult to get a axle to the front to make it a quattro (the transverse engine is in the way for it)
Further is the rear part of the e-tron II to sort for a longitudinal engine layout to create a quattro car.
And last, quattro would make it to heavy for a only 3.93m' long sports car.

But people say this concept (in the movies) have a longer front hoot/bonnet then the e-tron II seen in Detroit. ( i don't see it based on the movies)
In that case the engine can be moved to the front, and in that case it would be more in line as a TT Mk3 instead of a R4.

It remains to be seen whether this proposed MQB(ish) mid-engine setup could or would get AWD but that would certainly add weight, complexity and cost.




that really makes me said, i dont want audi to build a RWD car. :(( they are goiing to hurt themselves, what next, quattro will be replaced on all models by rwd? :(

Dear Quisha, please tell us its not true that the R4 etron or some others future audis will be RWD instead of quattro.

has noboby an info about that?

If it was one or the other, I think I'd rather drive a RWD TT and A3 than the FWD models. Why aren't you upset over all the FWDs?
