Audi quattro® is Audi's award-winning all-wheel drive system that allows you to effortlessly hug the curves of the Gold Coast. What makes the Audi quattro® unique is its 40:60 rear torque bias and tailor-made systems. As the first permanent all-wheel drive system available in passenger cars, Audi quattro® all-wheel drive has always pushed the envelope in terms of innovation and power.

Since its release decades ago, this Audi all-wheel drive system has been seen in everything from Oak Park commuters to track-ready race cars, and it's changed over time to deliver even more power and control to Chicago drivers.

How does Audi quattro® Work?

Audi's all-wheel drive system includes additional features that have been designed from the bottom-up to help you manage the Melrose Park streets and more. Below, we've listed some of the best features of the Audi quattro®, explained:

Torque vectoring: When your Audi enters a turn, its inner wheels will begin braking while torque is transferred to the outer wheels, allowing for tighter turns.

Variable torque split: This feature quickly provides power to the wheels that need it most by splitting the engine's power between the front and rear wheels.

Sport differential: Using the active rear differential, power is sent to the outside rear wheel for a 10% acceleration boost when cornering, which comes in handy on sport models like Audi RS and S models.
