Demonstration of Quattro in the A8.

I think this is a demonstration of the differential system in Quattro for the A8, but I can't be too certain. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, terrible rims. They supply those for 3.2FSI models here in Singapore.

What amazes me in this video is how 100% of the power can be transferred to the rear of the car - i mean i knew of this before, but to see it in action is another thing.

Re: Demonstration of Quattro in the A8.

It is a BMW 530xi! It has X-Drive!

So both cars have four wheel drive!

It is a BMW presentation and it should show that the BMW 4-wheel drive system is much better then the one of the Audi!
In my opinionIt has something to do with a better differential system.

Re: Demonstration of Quattro in the A8.

Since BMW has a better AWD system why don't they prove it in real life?



I would like to see a 530xi do that , but i don't think that it can.
