Do we still consider an Audi A2 a real Audi?
>>14666099
looks like a fiat panda.
>>14666099
They're not going to sell that in the US, are they?
Reminds me of those Mercedes B Class abominations. Never knew they existed until I saw one with Canadian plates. I understand why they don't sell them in the US. Same reason why the Sprinters are badged as Freightliners now. Gotta protect that badgewhore status.
>>14666121
Indont know, over never seen any newer than 2005 on the road
>>14666099
I would consider it more of an Audi than anything built on MQB architecture. So yes, A2 is very much Audi.
>>14666142
>MQB
>A3
>TT
>Q2
>not audi
>>14666121
They sell an electric B-class in California. Google it
>>14666131
hey do you think it might have something to do with the fact they went out of production in 2005?
>>14666131
So that's an older model? I see. Never made it to the US.
>>14666193
I'm just glad they don't sell the R-Class anymore.
>>14666208
That Does explain stuff yes
>>14666099
Most Audi are just gussied-up VW these days.
>>14666099
>real Audi
>implying Audi is anything but posh Skoda
>>14666252
No. A posh Skoda is a budget Audi.
Buying Audi was the best move VW ever made. Now they can rob their parts bins.
>>14666178
Same as VW Caddy, so pretty pleb shit tbqh.
>>14666300
they're all polished shit
>>14666304
I do kind of wonder if buying lamborghini netted them any useful 4wd tech
ITT: bus riders
Even an A1 is a pretty nice car.
>>14666411
t. someone who hasn't driven one
The interior qulity is nice, but the car feels boring to drive.
>>14666099
Hell yeah
>>14666448
As literally every other Audi? Even the S/RS models, compared to M/AMG cars?
>>14666317
Whelp, they still haven't figured out how to get the engine within the wheelbase like Lamborghini (barring the shared platform R8), so I'm guessing no.
>>14666470
I guess the diabo works the same as the coutach
with the output shaft running under the input shaft and crank shaft
the disadvantage being that the engine has to sit a bit higher
early countach had the carburettors laying on their side to save hight
but they were soon put vertical after the rear view periscope was removed
>>14666411
the A1 Quattro is absolute sex
the only one i'd take over it is the TT and the R8
this looks sort of awkward by comparison and might loose a bit of power though the angle of coupling
>>14666565
Yeah, the angle of the coupling has nothing to do with anything.
>>14666570
do you know how cv joints work ?
>>14666565
its like they tried to copy the rs200 and failed
>>14666613
rs200
>wew lad
>>14666565
to be fair this diagram makes it look worse than what it is
>>14666631
Lol FWD bias fake AWD
>>14666686
some sort of no true Scotsman ?
>>14666565
turns out the angle is tiny
and the slant of the gear box is also small
the quatro looks to have the same arrangement as a Subaru
>>14666304
Audi is basically running their engineering division. Using FWD and running Porsche engineers out of Wolfsburg was Audi's idea, otherwise they would have held onto RWD much longer.
>>14666559
Taking an r8 over rs7..
>>14666121
My parents had a B class diesel
such a nice car, but the CVT was weird.
fuck CVT's.
