Anyone who thinks it is just another version of the Audi really hasn't looked under the skin at all, or jsut doesn't know anything about modern race cars.
It isn't even close to what the Audi is. Everything is different- engine placement, gearbox design, front and rear suspension layout, front motor layout... It's all very different from the Audi, and very different from almost any other car out there.
The V4 is so short, it is right in the middle of the car... and there is a massive carbon structure reaching out to pick up the rear suspension. The car has all it's mass very centralized. They are back to using coil springs and dampers, while most teams have been using torsion bars for integration and packaging purposes (the RS spyder was a torsion bar car).
