Wouldn't Audi want to know anyway, just for corporate peace of mind - or do they run their own more rigorous crash safety tests internally which would make that unnecessary? I thought the D4 sold more than the D3, which in turn sold more than the D2, so it seems a bit illogical to crash test the D2 but not later models - unless, as you've said, they see this a marketing rather than safety exercise?
