Mk4s have that too, variable geometry, my car can go from like -.5\* to + 3\* through a turn… multi link is for ride quality, not to handle like an F1 car… audis take alot of work to handle even close to a stock E36 M3… being a 60/40ish weight split doesnt help them much with their tendency to understeer heavily.
