Why can't BMW catch the A4Q on the track, then - despite a 45kg weight 
advantage? 

Don't knock the 1.8T, BTW.  ABT has it up to 420bhp.  They say they won't be 
able to do as much with the V6.

Across the rear suspension.  It's also curved, so there is a stretch component 
available.  The whole suspension is aerofoiled.  There's more engineering under 
the car than on top, I suspect.  It was the only bit they weren't keen on me 
photographing.
