Audi R4: More info on Audi's next midship engine sportscar

Automobile Mag has some more information about the Audi R4, probably Audi's next midship engine sports car.

Despite the fact that Porsche is the new majority shareholder of the Volkswagen Group, Audi continues to pursue an ambitious sports car strategy. In addition to the just-introduced R8, Audi is now looking at two additional mid-engine R models. While a proposed R6, aimed squarely at the Porsche Cayman, has been put on the back burner for being "politically incorrect at this point in time" (in the words of one insider), the smaller R4 has just entered the initial evaluation phase.
