How does it work?
Audi quattro is designed to provide maximum traction and stability on the road, especially in adverse weather conditions. The quattro system uses a central differential to distribute torque between the front and rear wheels, providing optimal levels of power to each wheel as needed to give you superior handling and grip on the road.

The technology behind the Audi quattro system is truly impressive. It uses sensors to monitor road conditions and adjust the torque distribution in real time. This means that the car can respond quickly to changing conditions, providing maximum traction and stability on the road.
In terms of overall performance, the Audi quattro delivers. The system provides a confident and stable drive, even in difficult conditions. The car feels secure and controlled, even on slippery roads, and the added traction of the quattro system can make a real difference when it comes to handling and braking.
