The new cars A5/A6 and friends are literally the new cheap interior and the shit exterior with the same engines except they added some more filters and more mild hybrid shit and then they made the S5 one piston brake caliper.
Not really ok on an S car and I don’t care if you think the regen helps. You can’t dissipate heat with one piston which means these are going to be dogshit performers. No coupe either is cringe.

Audi hired the BMW sauber F1 engine developer to fix the diesel gate problem and he gutted the Audi Sport racing division bc it had nothing to do with electric cars and he wanted Audi fully electric by 2030. He went all in on F1 next, which is cool I suppose but F1 isn’t really related to customer racing which was a profitable enterprise under Audi. He binned it bc he wanted to to be green and electric and race cars are dirty and combustion. All current F1 teams make more money than the spend so entering F1 is a safe as fuck business move if you can get in. So was GT3 though. Anyway he’s gone now so Audi will likely rebuild its customer racing from scratch considering the whole infrastructure of building the GT3s and being at racetracks for technical support and supplying parts around the globe is gone and so are rhe people that made it work.
there is a chance to make it better because Audi USA refused to spend the money on customer racing bc he didn’t want the expense in his budget but under Germanys budget (similar c suite antics in GM with GM Europe refusing to pay for Le Mans so GM NA funds the corvettes ).
