Why would the 100 have a longer wheelbase? Isn't it the same car but with a different engine? (basically)

The 100 series is heavier on all around, including at the front end.
The engine block (aspirated) as a V6 is heavier than the slant-5 with
the turbo, and the frame/chassis of the car is also heavier to support
the longer wheel base and larger load capacity, resulting in additional
weight on the front end. Think of the 100-series as being the same
platform, in essence, as the A6/S6 series.

Comparing a regular Audi 100(V6) to a 20 valve turbo S4, which one is
heavier in the front?
