It could still use less overhang (and better weight distribution, and bigger cylinder bore spacing)

Move the axle under the engine (just barely) change the shape of the oil sump, and move the rack to the front of the engine (in the new space created)

The Audi V6 effectively splits the difference between Toyota's 2.5 & 3.5 V6, and BMW's 328/335

What's boring here is reading the MikeW Audi comments on Autoblog which incidentally, is the same damn point over and over again for as long as I've been reading this blog. OK WE GET IT - you believe that Audi engineers are so stupid that they keep making the same "mistake" over and over again by not creating cars with perfect 50/50 weight distribution. WHO CARES. They are probably pretty smart engineers (NOT as smart as you of coarse) who are kind of known for engineering detail and design. Maybe your time would be better spend e-mailing Audi engineers to let them know the correct way to design thier oil sumps and racks and cylinder bore spacing - I mean, maybe they just don't know any better? Please, do this so we can get this resolved so I can read an Audi write up and check out some pictures and read some interesting comments without reading your nonsense.
