It's actually Quattro. |
There's a colossal difference in quattro systems based on transverse engines and those based on longitudinal engines. The Golf R, A/S/RS3 all use a Haldex based system that sends "over 10%" of the power to the rear at all times and more based on slip, up to 50%. And if it were 20% or more, they wouldn't call it "over 10%."
Meanwhile the other Audii send 60% to the rear full time and up to 90% under slip. So an RS3 with full traction loss is still sending less power to the rear than a regular quattro car in the dry with no traction loss.
Worth mentioning that BMW and MB (and others) with transverse engines send no power to the back until there's a traction loss.
