quattro®
It’s the technology that has given Audi the
edge
on the racetrack ever since it was first
introduced
3\f years ago – a technology
that
delivers ultimate control whilst
enhancing
the sporty characteristics which
make
the new Audi A8 so thrilling to drive.
It’s
called quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive.
The principle is simple: in the same way
that
four brakes ensure better deceleration,
four
permanently-driven wheels deliver
better
acceleration and road-holding, pushing
or
pulling the car as needed, for a driving
experience
that’s both dynamic and safe.
