With most all-wheel drive systems, there’s usually a slight trade off when it comes to gas mileage. Yet, that’s a gap that Audi has been eager to close without watering down the exciting performance of their Quattro all-wheel drive system. The result is Quattro ultra, and today, we’re going to tell you all about it.
Quattro is unique in that it was the first AWD platform to adjust power from wheel to wheel as you drive. Now, the system utilizes a dual clutch that disconnects the back wheels during cruising to help bolster gas mileage. However, four-wheel power is but a fraction of a second away. If wheel slip is detected, a stationary prop shaft will bring the back wheels up to speed and provide the safety you crave.
