It still has the perfect weight distribution, it's the lightest in its class, and it has 7200 rpm redline which is the highest among competition as well.

It's fashionable to create arguments on made-up facts these days. Who said they're not focusing on driving experience? Even before driving it, pretty much everybody already know that this car will be the best in terms of handling, performance, lower weight, driving experience, and it has the best mass production 6 pot engine on the planet. The design is great, but it's nowhere near the most significant differentiation from competition. It's just the most visible at first glance. I mean you even put RS5 there... I hope you're kidding. You can open the hood and see the engine placement, I don't think you would need any further proof on how different these cars are.
Perfect weight distribution you say? Haha, no longer, it 54% front.

Lightest in its class you say, haha, the awd version will be about the same weight as my M5 Competition at 4,180 lbs
