Was not expecting to watch 3 ads disguised as an informational video.

The quattro shown here, is quattro Ultra Drive, which is made for better fuel consumption on some models. The quattro system in the performance cars are different. For example, cars with transversely mounted engines (hatchbacks and TT) use the Haldex variant, which is FWD biased until needed, the performance cars like RS4, 5, 6, 7 and S variants use Torsen quattro, and is permanent, 60 rear, 40 front when just driving. The R8 system is it's own as well, which is 85 rear, and 15 front.

i’m a merc fanboy but when it comes to all wheel drive i’d take an audi quattro any day

I just gotten more informed than I was yesterday. Thank you for this video.

I researched for 7 months before buying my Audi. It’s the best awd on the market. It’s gotten me through some extreme snow situations over the past couple years. 8+ inches up steep roads. I swear by the Quattro system. And I don’t think I’ll ever buy anything other than Audi.

I was driving Audi quattro many years on snowy mountains and Audi quattro is so much reliable than any car for that environment because of their transfer's and differential system.

Even under the same brand name, not all systems are created equal. MB actually has 5 different kinds of 4matic. The video only depicted their compact car 4matic system, which is FWD biased. For full size cars and SUVs (C class and up) the basic system distributes power 50/50 front to rear (eg. GLE 350), and the higher end system can distribute up to 100% to either axel (eg. GLE 450). Then there are the Performance 4matic (eg. C43) and 4matic+ systems (eg. E63) on the AMG tuned cars.

I have a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro with 6sp Tiptronic, from what I understand, this application of Quattro uses Torsen differentials, not sure if it uses them on front / centre / rear differential, but from the video showing the cutaway Quattro front differential you can see that it is an open differential. Every application and generation of the powertrains are different, but from what I've seen, Quattro does perform extremely well in snow conditions. Cant speak on the others, but I see alot of electronically controlled clutches. Service on any of the systems shown will most likely be abysmal for those working on it and those paying for it. The ABS system on the Quattro is a really key component as with any of these for torque vectoring both on braking and on acceleration conditions at the wheels. General conclusion: get out and drive, and dont skip on maintenance steps, even if the manufacturer says it's a "non-serviceable" fluid -___-

I have a 4matic 2008 S550. Drove at 80mph in snow storm. Awesome handling 👍🏻

[HQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQ]

Yep... Torsen doesn't need milliseconds to work out where it needs power. It's not synthetic - it's natural!

[robincurston]

I see how this is working, what ever manufacture you own is the best.

[kristenmoon]

To sum this video up. Pointing at things makes for design. <3

[nagarajgodachimath]

good information for beginners ...thanks for sharing....keep updating new engines.

The Audi one as shown here, is not the torsen quattro, it's the Haldex system which can shut down the rear axle completely if not needed, in fact Haldex in the Audi's is a fwd bios awd system, on the other hand traditional Torsen quattro sends %60 power to the rear wheels and %40 to the front wheels all the time, it can send up to %70 to the front and %85 to the rear if needed. For the record, A1, S1, Q3, A3, S3 and RS3 all use Haldex awd system, A4 and all the upper models use torsen Quattro.

[igorborsanyi]

The best solution would be united all three systems!That would be a MASAKER😀 ps i have Audi

[satyamdwivedi]

Now that's some quality compilation....

[sparkyUK]

On the Audis, not all models can be front-wheel only when all-wheel drive isn't required. Only the smaller models or the Ultra variants have this feature. A lot of the other (larger) models are perm all-wheel drive.

O Trio Alemão é simplesmente sensacional.

[totome]

I have a W212 E350 cdi 4matic and it is absolutely stunning in snow!
I can't compare with others...

Salute to those engineer and worker how they put too much hard work and they make for us calmful nice car
