Audi’s Not Done Borrowing Porsche Platforms For Future Cars

Parts sharing isn’t a new thing, even for a premium brand like Audi. As far back as the 1970s, Audi provided components and engines to Porsche for the 924 and 944 sports cars, with modern examples including the three-row Q7 SUV, which shares its architecture with the Cayenne (as well as the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga). That commonality between Volkswagen Group brands is unlikely to end any time soon; in fact, Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said the luxury brand would even leverage some of Porsche’s sporty platforms for its more enthusiastic models.
