Audi got it right with that car but my RS7's had fixed torque splits and that dreaded torque steer made my teeth chip.
The R8 is really a RWD with a Haldex connected front axle. The RS7 as well as all the other front-longitudinally placed engines have a "fixed split" torsen mid differential, in true Quattro form. BMW's X-Drive is indeed better at keeping the RWD feel.
