Your right, that would be a very trick setup!  The next question would
be durability of the clutch running it locked, would it self-destruct?
Probably not, being an Audi and all.  But the wires would corrode and
fry, and the clutch would engage when you turn on the fog lights, or
some such bizarre-ness.

When the clutch isn't locked, think FWD 4k.  That a gorilla sat on.

Good idea, and one for the tuning software guys to work!
