I should have said 1980s WRC racer.
On a similar tread I wrote:
Quote:
Both next gen. BMW and Audi AWD systems seem to copy somewhat the general idea of the recently banned WRC tri-active-diferential system. Except they lack the ability to split torque between the front wheels.
I guess that's left for the next next gen. AWD.
Honda, I belive, beat them to it.
Audi seems to go the BMW path since they realise that people won't buy medium to big premium products with FWD.
But where does this leave the "Never follow" motto ?!

To the article paragraph:
Audi works intensively on the improved quattro drive, which for the introduction on the market of the A5 Sportback should be ready for production. The new all wheel system is simpler , has less internal friction and still more versatile. After the rear biased torque distribution the next driving dynamics system called Quattro Torque Vectoring (QTV) is now on the works. QTV regulates the torque distribution between the axles and between the rear wheels. A goal is more agility, more stability and an even better traction.
