I have no problem with that.

And what a great looking coupe - only the BMW M4 gives it a run for its money.

Nah.

They'd do it for one model, which I'm guessing would the R8 successor or the car to be above the R8.

But to make all their cars hybrid? There's a ton of purists who buy the RS cars.

Because efficiency and EV mode for city centers and more torque.

I'd rather see Audi cars not being fat pigs despite advertising "ultra" lightweight with their Le Mans cars.

Love those guys ... it isn't a 911 if it's not air cooled!

From dumping fuel into the exhaust to a full hybrid range. How times change.

I have less of a problem with Audis going hybrid as I do BMWs, because Audis have pretty much never purported themselves as a purist driving car, but were technological cars designed to be fast, not feel good. A la Nissan GT-R.

If they cared about efficiency so much then why put a N/A engine in the RS5?

They also advertise AWD, and that adds weight.

Don't worry, you won't see it on the next generation. Because TFSI.

Than chose one. The RS5 was more than 100kg heavier than a C63 Coupe. (Not to say that other's are better, the E92 M3 was only 10kg less than the RS5)
