Who Says Audis Understeer?

I do, both my Audi A4 Avant (B6) and allroad (C5) understeered like pigs but they were not race cars.

Love the sound.
 
The only races modern Audis are meant to win are those against Civic drivers at red lights, so it doesn't really matter.

well, at 0:49 and 0:54 there's a fair bit of understeer !

Also, with lots of power and a very strong rear diff it's normal that it oversteers on power, at 1:05 he also pulls the handbrake :p
 
I'm always impressed by house fast some people are with their speed/coordination of their feet against the pedals.
 
The Audi Quattro Group 4/Group B were a notorious understeerers. The S1 tried to tame this by lobbing off a full foot (maybe more) of wheelbase. Didn't really work.

The S1 and S1 E2, as iconic as they are, didn't win much of anything, beside Pikes Peak.

Yep, the engine was all in front of the front wheels. With 50-50 torque split it was bound to understeer !
