Audi has come out and stated that the German automaker is butting heads with its parent company. The two has been having conflicts over the creation of the Audi A1 E-tron. Volkswagen was riled when they came to know that Audi wanted to launch a range-extended EV with a gasoline rotary engine instead of following the rest of the VW family.
Reports state that Audi wanted to create an alternative to the BMW Mega City Car. Volkswagen would like to have all the brands under its watch and use similar platforms. Audi says there's no conflict between the two companies but Volkswagen has not commented for this.
