Permanent all-wheel-drive
It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever
since it was first introduced over 25 years ago – a technology that
delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics
which make the RS 6 so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro
®
permanent all-wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way
that four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-driven
wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or
pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience that’s both
dynamic and safe. In the RS 6, asymmetric-dynamic torque
distribution continuously distributes drive power between the front
and rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and
gradient, which increases flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.
