      Yeah the 2026 cars are going to be a shitshow.

      Why? I mean no front axle recuperation is stupid but other than that?

        I’m really hoping they change that, without the MGU-H it seems you’d wanna recover energy as much as possible, and there’s plenty in the front axle to grab. I don’t really get it, cost savings?

          That and front axle recuperation requires motors on the front axle, which I guess they don’t want to do not to upset the RWD purists.

          German media claimed the existing PU manufacturers were afraid of Audi and fought. The media gave no arguments why Audi would have an edge, though…
