It depends on the awd setup. If the car is mostly rwd 100% like a Porsche and then front wheels start pulling when grip is lost, amg has a fixed 33/67 setup etc, then you need more grip in the back. I feel the i8 electric motor pulls strong and early, which in my opinnion would support a typical Audi like same wheels all around type of setup more.
