One Flat Turns to Four

[DeWitt Harrison]

Shades of the painful debates regarding q-traction theory between Scott
Justusson and Phil Payne in days past. These days, it doesn't seem to bother
anybody how Audi decides to handle all this. Maybe it should? Or not. I just
can't wait for the self driving car. (Yes, you all will be alive to see it.)

Surely TC has a steering position input a well?

And on a Quattro, surely all wheels are on "traction axles"?
