Why only use two wheels
when a car has four?
The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive.
Those who know Audi know quattro. And once
you have driven with quattro, you do not want
to drive with anything else. Why? Because this
drive brings engine power to the road in such a
convincing way.
quattro is a permanent all-wheel drive. If the
wheels on one axle of the vehicle lose grip on the
road and threaten to spin, the wheel-selective
torque distribution transfers the drive force
through the transfer gear box and the Haldex
clutch to the axle or individual wheel with the
better grip. The benefit is better traction and
thus improved acceleration as well as more safety
thanks to more balanced lateral guide forces.
But what makes quattro special is really the
driving feel. “As if you’re stuck to the road,” some
customers say. We put it like this: quattro gives
you a better feel for the road and thus more
safety.
