It's a FWD base of course that uses the Haldex for it's "quattro" system. So
does the TT and Golf, Passat etc.
Hard to believe I am driving a FWD based car it's that good. Of course this
layout is super efficient. This thing handles neutral and goes like hell too
with 300 HP. Active chassis is really cool. the V8 is = comfort mode on this
thing. Advanced mode is like a set race-spec coilovers.
About drivetrains: I can understand RWD for that sport feel of being
pushed, the oversteer thing... then it makes sense to add to that AWD like
BMW, lexus or nissan has.
The Audi I always feel that I am sitting on top of like a tractor drive
system and with the energy it burns up to me makes no sense into the future
with the FWD Haldex working so well. Audi always had to play tricks with
the body to make it look normal too.
