As fast as it is (very fast), and as nice an interior it has (quite nice), it's still front engine transverse layout with FWD-bias AWD. This platform is shared with the Golf and Audi A3, good cars to be sure, but costing less than a similarly advanced RWD platform with a superior F-R weight distribution. Note that the new Audi RS5 with a longitudinal layout and Torsen 40/60 AWD is 80k euros.
