[urq] awd

[j.koenig]

The ur-quattro *was* an unbelievable start (no transfer case, etc.), with a handful of 
world rally championships to show for it, but certainly 25 years, electronically 
controlled diffs, etc., have moved the goal posts.  Audi's pretty well drifted away from 
serious, competition-oriented development.  Does anyone know what the late-'90s A4 Touring 
cars or Champion's RS6s were running for diffs?  ...or of any world-class competition uses 
of the Haldex system (Skoda?)?

Oh, and just 'cause I haven't seen it here yet... some also refer to them as *vicious* 
couplings...
