Yeah, Audi wants you to think Quattro is always the "real/full" version.

That is some shady marketing. They specifically market the RS3 as featuring "permanent quattro® all-wheel drive." They had me fooled.

I guess by "permanent" they mean your haldex system is always on the car o.0

Technically 95/5 is still AWD.

Btw, the Lambo Aventador and Bugatti Chiron uses Haldex as well.

I really wish they sold the RS3 here.
The manual Golf R can't be launched. It comes with something in the factory that stops you from doing it. The DSG version is the only one that launches hard.

Neither can the CTR and also that has nothing to do with the roll race outcome.

I thought Haldex decoupled the rear when driving straight to increase gas mileage. So 100/0 at times, no?

I suggest to do more reading up on Haldex, more importantly, how it's programmed uniquely for each application.

This engine has been used in cars overseas already? What is the power potential?
