The Next Generation AWD System from Audi: Quattro Torque Vectoring (QTV).

Yannis · 04-25-2007, 10:58 PM

Audi works intensively on the improved quattro drive, which for the introduction on the market of the A5 Sportback should be ready for production. The new all wheel system is simpler , has less internal friction and still more versatile. After the rear biased torque distribution the next driving dynamics system called Quattro Torque Vectoring (QTV) is now on the works. QTV regulates the torque distribution between the axles and between the rear wheels. A goal is more agility, more stability and an even better traction.

Sweet! Let's see what kind of performance this will bring.

BTW...at first I thought it said "Quattro Thrust Vectoring" like the Fighter-jets...I was like

ha ha ha...I'm pretty stupid.

No, I'm sure it will be able to make somersaults with zero acceleration and stuff like that.

So, this is an AutoBild article ...

From what it is said there QVT is basically an equivalent to BMWs Dynamic xDrive (xDrive + DPC + SCI). Good move from Audi (first rear biased AWD, then this) - otherwise Quattro would lag behind xDrive.

Btw, the article says QVT will debut in A5 Sportback!!!!???? A5 Sportback got a green light after all?

Where is martin(bo) to enlighten us - regarding both systems (QVT vs DPC Dynamic xDrive)?

Martin!

Both next gen. BMW and Audi AWD systems seem to copy somewhat the general idea of the recently banned WRC tri-active-diferential system. Except they lack the ability to split torque between the front wheels.
I guess that's left for the next next gen. AWD.

Audi seems to go the BMW path since they realise that people won't buy medium to big premium products with FWD.
But where does this leave the "Never follow" motto ?!

Yannis · 04-26-2007, 04:48 AM

Audi is a pioneer for AWD for the last 27 years and when BMW started xDrive like 5 years ago or something now Audi is going the BMW path?
BMW fans are amazing in twisting reality.

Because Audi no longer uses the 1980 WRC racer aproach (50/50) with the latest AWD system, but wants more agility, more RWD biased feeling a la BMW.

Also BMW had an AWD system in the 1980s too. It was a viscous coupling sytem, not torsen like Audi.
