The V8 had the same length as the old 5 cylinder. But it’s got 8 cylinders. The V6 is even shorter and atleast part of it is behind the front axle since around 2010ish.
The MQB cars have the entire engine forward of the axle bc it’s a VW chassis and VW customers want cabin space and think GTis handle well anyways.
It’s also has McDonald’s if iirc because of course there is no room for double Bs.
The super charged V6 S5 is a great option and vastly better in terms of performance build and materials and power.
With the A4 range and up you have the more robust DL501, a crown center diff, a torque vectoring differential in the rear, better weight distribution, double bones, more power, better cooling, better NVH, better interior longevity, it’s actually going to handle like an Audi does. No brainer. They’re also pretty reliable.
