Audi rs3 sportback. I can has horsepowers?

[John Cody Forbes]

I hope it comes to the US. It's the most exciting new car in the ballpark of affordability I have ever seen. 

By four link rear axle they are using the word 'axle' in a broader way than you are thinking. Axle doesn't have to mean the round shaft that drives the wheel, it can refer to the entire suspension. It's got a four control arm system similar to the front of most modern Audi's just in the rear instead.

I was reading about it and went through levels of excitement. Blah blah blah RS3 (sounds interesting) blah blah TTRS 340hp turbo 5cyl (mmmmm now we are talking) blah blah blah standard DSG (ding ding ding we have a winner!!!!) blah blah.....
