There are two keys to driving dynamics:
1-Keeping the curb weight as low as possible
2-Weight distribution
The first one is difficult to achieve since quattro parts add to the weight of the vehicle but since Torsen C is more compact and light that Torsen B (which is now in use across the range minus S6,S8 , RS4 and Q7) the new generation A4 will be improved in that.
As for the distribution it will also be improved with the engine moving further to the rear in the engine bay. How much exactly i don't know.
When we say that Audi will match driving dynamics we don't mean that Audis will be transformed into BMWs but that understeer will be greatly reduced and the cars will feel lighter and more agile.
