Sister brands Audi and Porsche would mot have on the use of platforms for their upcoming sports cars.

According to Automobilemag is the situation is as follows. Porsche has a platform is proposed, in which the successor of the upcoming Audi R8 (scheduled for 2016) and the successor of the Lamborghini Huracán (expected in 2021) based should be. Both Audi if Lamborghini seem not only to want to switch on (a variant of) this frame, due to the different layouts of the supercars that are based on it would be.

The R8 and the Huracán has a mid-engine behind the driver, where as the 911 is a six-cylinder boxer engine behind the rear axle. Lamborghini would even so disagree with the proposal, that it intends its own chassis from carbon-fiber to develop.

A higher-up at Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft indicates that the brands have to cooperate instead of fight, and that standardize the keyword is. So it seems that Audi and Lamborghini are not many to choose from, and have regard to the preservation of the own identity on matters other than the base focus.
