TBF Quattro Ultra is already in the V6 A6 and A7 and doesn't function like Haldex, it's a predictive system and can still send more power to the rear than the front when cornering and such so in practice it's no different than the standard Torsen Quattro.


The only reason the S5 doesn't have it is because Ultra isn't compatible with the rear sport differential.

Yeah, but it shouldn't be that way......S cars used to get the insane options but now it's like "AMG" and "M"

Not if its been mentioned on this thread but I heard on the Doug Demiro Podcast that this is meant to replace the A4/S4, as they have decided to use the even numbers to denote that the car is an EV, and use odd numbers for ICE(as mentioned on the podcast).

yes, i don't know why car makers use it... it can't be that much cheaper than other options. i guess some consumers fall for the 'shiny stuff'.

maybe you can update your post now that you've actually read the article which contradicts its headline.

all the other usual "sky is falling", "things are worse than in the past" posts noted.

modern cars are amazing.
