Default My prediction is...

next RS4 will be a coupe built on a new platform featuring engine moved back, either over or behind the front wheels, for better weight distribution. This type of platform will be used on all future Audis.

Default According to recent issues of CAR and Automobile. . .

the coupe will be based on the cab.

Default somewhat different take

I'm thinking they are going to work to pull the wheels even further forward, which can potentially bring even greater benefits to weight distribution and overall handling.

Default Correct, I've seen several articles in which Audi mentions moving

the front wheels further up, like BMW. This way they can move the engine forward for better weight distribution.
