1 When driving during cold, rainy, snowy or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winter-
weather tires. Even with appropriate tires, you must always drive in a manner appropriate for the weather, visibility and road conditions.
Confidence-inspiring
Under ideal conditions, power is 40:60 rear-
wheel-biased to help maximize acceleration
and cornering, but the instant conditions be-
come more challenging, the ratio is optimized
for superior grip and control.
It’s a bond between your car and the road.
It’s true that while Audi quattro® all-wheel drive may have been engineered to help drive through inclement
weather and in low-traction situations, the real magic of this advanced system is how it performs in the dry.
Power is distributed to all four wheels working in concert to help grip every corner while giving you the optimal
amount of power delivery where and when it’s needed. In other words, quattro® helps enhance performance by
appropriately transferring power to the necessary wheels when accelerating and turning, so you have confidence-
inspiring performance when the road isn’t at its best. Inclement weather aside, the really gripping story about
quattro® is how it performs overall, forging a sure bond between you, your Audi A7 and the road.

Torque vectoring
It’s a handling feature that seems to respond
to your impulses before your steering input.
An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system
works within quattro®, while utilizing ESC and
ABS to help sense traction loss from the inside
cornering tire.
Torque split
When accelerating out of a turn, up to 80% of the
power is mechanically shifted to the rear wheels,
where it’s best allocated to propel the vehicle to
your desired speed and onto the straightaway.
Once traveling in a straight line again, the 40:60
power distribution that quattro® delivers to the
front and rear wheels, respectively, gives you
maximum torque to push onward.
