I meant that brakes are easier to cool at the wheel, than inboard.

With inboards, the axle shaft twists when you brake.
I didn't realize Audi's had inboard brakes. I just went into rant mode because I have issues with the needlessly complicated Audis I own.

Seems like if the brakes were not unsprung weight the brakes could be massive solving the cooling issues.

The springiness in the axles could be reduced or damped out also.
