quattro (automobile)
Quattro is Audi’s all-wheel-drive system that actively distributes power to all four wheels of a vehicle, enhancing stability, traction, and handling. Unlike traditional front- or rear-wheel drive, quattro improves performance on challenging surfaces like snow, rain, or rough roads by adjusting power delivery in real-time. This system uses sensors and an electronic control unit to detect wheel slip and automatically send torque where it's needed most, resulting in safer, more confident driving, especially in adverse conditions. Quattro is renowned for its contribution to Audi's reputation for sporty, secure vehicles with exceptional driving dynamics.
