Porsche Eager To Collaborate With Audi Engineering Teams On New Projects Again

Porsche has made plans to revive its close ties with Audi, following the sports car maker’s takeover of the Volkswagen Group.

Well placed sources say that Porsche bosses are keen to restart the kind of engineering collaboration with Audi that produced the RS2 super-estate in the mid 1990s.

One of the first Audis in line for a Porsche makeover, once the company directors give the green light, is said to be the upcoming A5 Sportback, a more practical version of the A5 coupé with two more doors and a bigger boot.

Whats the point of a four door A5? Isn't that then an A4?

amazin...

Here you go again. You obviously know better than Porsche.

To help you cope with all the positive Audi news, just repeat after me:

BMW makes the best engineered, best designed, highest quality, most reliable, best handling, quickest, fastest cars in the world. And BMW drivers are the best looking, most intelligent, best educated, wealthiest car owners in the world.

Now keep repeating this to yourself and let the rest of the subscribers here have an intelligent civil discussion.

Lot more than they would learn from BMW.

Once again--amazinBimmer was banned. His posts have disappeared. Rejoice.

Anyway, I'm really excited for this. The RS2 is a legend. I hope the new RS6 is engineered by Porsche for a more agile feel.

Agreed. A win win situation for both parties.
