Torque vectoring

You’ll ﬁnd truth in your corner. Torque vectoring is a handling feature so advanced

that it seems to respond to your impulses even before you turn the steering wheel.

An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system works within the Audi quattro® all-wheel

drive system while utilizing Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the Anti-lock Brak-

ing System (ABS) to help sense reduced load or wheel-spin on the inside cornering

tire, helping to make turns smoother and more responsive.

As you can see, we’ve always felt that the best ideas are the

ones that stick. And nowhere is that more true than with Audi

quattro® all-wheel drive. Since 1980, we’ve been stuck on

articulating an expanding vision of what progressive all-wheel

drive technology can deliver. We didn’t simply look at it as

something to use in poor conditions, but rather as a perfor-

mance technology that’s built to handle roads from the Alps

to the autobahn—and points beyond. You’ve seen quattro®

capabilities in the way we dominated the World Rally Cham-

pionship for years, in the grip you have in inclement weather,

and in the variable rear-wheel-biased power you enjoy in

good conditions.

For more than 30 years and with ﬁve million

quattro® systems installed in Audi vehicles, we have continued

to reﬁne the technology, developing a rear sport dierential

to help maximize performance, and torque vectoring to assist

with cornering traction while helping to improve handling.

We boldly stuck to what worked while the world was trying

to catch up, and we built on our vision by adding to a gripping

heritage of Audi Sport® performance.

It’s Audi because

conditions don’t have to dictate how

you stick it to the road.
