The two companies have had close ties for years but I wonder if the R8 was the final straw for Porsche, clearly it has been beating the normal 997s in almost every test. This might be a swan song for Audi as Porsche might never allow something like this again, which would be a shame as the R8 has proved to many that Audi are capable of producing real driver's cars and ones which stay true to their philosophy which is Quattro.
I just wished that Audi would adopt a more rear bias awd system in all of their cars but the chances of that are very slim as their current system is safer for normal drivers.
