The "well sorta" was WRT the fact that the S4 Competition is an AWD car,
but is not a quattro as we know it in street usage since, AFAIK, the
Tor$en is welded up and the cars run locked front to rear all the time.
Point is, they *are* AWD cars used in pavement road circuit
racing...today!

I have never heard of a R8 road car...can't help there. That one is news
to me.
