In the latest series of Audi\u2019s tech talk, we get to learn about the electric Quattro system that\u2019s featured in all Audi e-tron models.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, Audi\u2019s Quattro system has relied on a centrally-located Torsen differential that routes power to the front and rear axles, based on available grip. It started out as a viscous coupling diff, which would clutch-up and send power to the opposite axle of one that was spinning. So if the rear wheels were spinning too quickly, that would cause the diff to send more power to the front axle. While that\u2019s extremely effective, and modern systems have become far more advanced, Audi\u2019s new electric Quattro system is far faster to react and far more controllable.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, the electric Quattro is the perfect combination of powerful performance and high efficiency,\u201d says Michael Wein, Project Leader All-Wheel Drive Control Systems. \u201cWe combine the efficiency advantages of a driven axle with the traction and dynamic performance of an all-wheel drive system.\u201d<\/p>\n
