Over cars that run up ski jumps, pull trucks across snow-covered winter roads with no apparent effort, or dominate racetracks and mountain races. Every event an experience. And one thing that comes up behind the wheel: you feel something as a driver. It’s a compliment that that still works and works better, in fact, after four decades of progressive development. Remaining faithful to explorer genes to the present That now includes the step from the mechanical to the electric quattro. Anticipated and expected. Nonetheless, combining established technology with a new kind of drive is still an art. The game changer is staying faithful to your own aspirations. Bringing three engines into the car and thereby making real torque vectoring possible, for instance during sporty driving through curves, sounds like the Great 4x4 at the dawn of history: for starters, it takes courage to pack continuous all-wheel drive into a series sedan. The quattro always tells a story about itself and also about Audi. Pioneering ideas have to become pioneering action. A great love doesn’t just stop like that. There are new aspirations, lasting demands, and ambitious goals. Sometimes the mobility of the future takes a solid grip. That’s why the quattro stays true to its explorer genes. It will push all of us forward on our path safely, dynamically, and emotionally.
Internally, it had the designation model 85. 80 percent was the incline of the ski jump in Kaipola, Finland, where Audi filmed a legendary commercial in 1986. Professional rally driver Harald Demuth mastered the snow-covered 47-meter (154.2-ft) ascent in the Audi 100 CS quattro. 92.2 percent of all cars that Audi delivered to customers in Canada in 2019 had a quattro drive. As a result, Canada has the highest proportion of all-wheel drive cars in the world. From 140 kW (190 PS) in the Q2 40 TFSI quattro S tronic right through to 456 kW (620 PS) in the R8 V10 performance quattro supercar, Audi provides its customers with the benefits of permanent all-wheel drive throughout the entire model range. 200 PS (147 kW) is what the original quattro had at its disposal – 40 years ago, that was a value truly worthy of a sports car. At this point, the Porsche 911 SC produced just 4 PS more. Around 720 PS (530 kW) is what the five-cylinder-turbo in the Audi 90 quattro produced, which competed in the IMSA GTO series in 1989 – the 2.2-liter four-valve powerplant summoned no less than 329 PS from every liter (0.04 cu ft) of displacement.
Numerous renowned commercials and campaigns such as the Audi 100 CS quattro climbing a ski jump with professional rally driver Harald Demuth at the wheel have also contributed to its legendary status. With the electric quattro in the e-tron models, Audi is setting the next benchmark in the age of e-mobility. Where and how is the quattro used today? With the exception of the A1 series, the quattro is available as a purely mechanical all-wheel-drive system in every model series. The new Audi RS 3 is the first Audi ever to feature the quattro with the RS torque splitter, which distributes drive torque between the rear wheels in a fully variable manner. The e-tron and e-tron Sportback ushered in the era of the electric all-wheel drive in 2018. In the Audi e-tron models, one electric motor powers the front and one the rear axle. The e-tron series’ S models represent a particular technical highlight – this is the first time that three electric motors have been used in a mass-produced model, two of them on the rear axle. In the S models, electric torque vectoring, i.e., targeted torque distribution without a mechanical connection such as a differential between the two rear wheels, gives the quattro drive system even greater agility and traction. What makes the quattro drive system so unique? Audi offers a wide variety of automotive concepts across its model range – and as a result, its quattro technology also covers a broad spectrum.

Professional rally driver Harald Demuth mastered the snow-covered 47-meter (154.2-ft) ascent in the Audi 100 CS quattro. More than 80 percent of the roughly 20 models that Audi will present in 2020 will be launched on the market with at least one quattro variant. 92.2 percent of all cars that Audi delivered to customers in Canada in 2019 had a quattro drive. As a result, the country in North America has the highest proportion of all-wheel drive cars in the world.

The drivers, Hurley Haywood and Hans-Joachim Stuck, won almost every second race in the North American series. Audi exploited the technical rules of the IMSA series to the full: A tubular trellis frame supported a greatly widened plastic body, while the tires were up to 360 millimeters (14.2 in) wide.
The current skiing season puts the spotlight on the Audi e-tron: Audi is featured on flags and perimeter advertising boards and on the start house, the exit gate, the leaderboard and the wall behind the winners’ rostrum sporting its current e-tron branding. In addition, the 2019 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Åre premiered a shuttle service with e-tron models, plus the Audi e-tron was introduced to visitors and athletes during an Audi driving experience in Kitzbühel and Åre. For more than 30 years, AUDI AG has been the principal sponsor of the German Ski Association (DSV) including all national teams – not only as a financial supporter but also in conjunction with many joint events. In addition, Audi is a sponsor and vehicle partner of the national teams from Austria, Canada, China, Finland, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Some of these teams benefit from Audi’s technical know-how: the athletes regularly train at the Audi wind tunnel center in Ingolstadt. The 2019/2020 season marks the 18th year of the four rings’ title sponsorship of the Audi FIS Ski World Cup and since 2011 the brand has also been giving its name to the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup. Audi will be the principal sponsor of the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy). Since November 2013, Audi has been the principal sponsor of the Nordic Combined World Cup and since the beginning of the 2014/2015 season, partner of the FIS Cross Country and Ski Jumping World Cup. Via the partnership with the Freeride World Tour, Audi addresses a young target group. Audi in eSports: FOKUS CLAN and Origen Since 2018, Audi has been gathering experience in the innovative and increasingly popular discipline of eSports.
Rallycross stars Foust and Heikkinen to battle at Hockenheim Former ski jumper Hannawald looks forward to guest start Strong partners support premiere Audi Sport TT Cup season
For the opening of the Audi Sport TT Cup at Hockenheim on the first May weekend, two rallycross stars will battle for bragging rights: Guest starters Tanner Foust (USA) and Toomas Heikkinen (FIN) pit themselves against the permanent competitors. Ski jump Olympic gold medalist and World Champion Sven Hannawald also joins the grid.
The two races at the Hockenheimring on Saturday and Sunday should provide the fans with exciting wheel-to-wheel action. In addition to the 18 international talents, who fight for championship points, the six guest drivers should also spice up the action. “We want to offer the motorsport fans at each of the six Audi Sport TT Cup events fascinating battles between drivers from a specific métier,” says Rolf Michl, Project Leader Audi Sport TT Cup. “For the Hockenheimring we were successful. I expect to see Tanner Foust and Toomas Heikkinen make some incredible overtaking maneuvers.” Foust is a superstar in the USA. The triple gold medal winner in the X-Games currently drives in the Global Rallycross Championship (GRC) and moderates the motorsport magazine program Top Gear. In Europe, the 41-year old participates in selected rounds of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, including a world championship round at the Hockenheimring. Where he meets his adversary Heikkinen. The 24-year old Finn was World Rallycross Championship runner-up in 2014. “I’m looking forward enormously to racing again on a circuit,” says Heikkinen, who last competed on a permanent race track in Formula Renault in 2009. Another celebrity – former ski jumper Sven Hannawald – also joins the grid at Hockenheim. The VW brand ambassador is an enthusiastic amateur racing driver who started in motorsport about ten years ago. “Racing has always been very appealing to me,” says Hannawald.
Shot put World Champion David Storl, ski jumping World Champion Richard Freitag and biathlon double World Champion Erik Lesser enjoyed the action up close with Audi at the DTM event at the Lausitzring. Erik Lesser drove alongside Manuel Reuter in the Audi RS 5 DTM race taxi and was visibly impressed. “The power and the speed are enormous. I’ve certainly got the taste now and would love to get behind the steering wheel once myself,” said Lesser. Audi RS 5 DTM meets Audi R8 LMS At the Motorsport Festival at the Lausitzring, the Audi RS 5 DTM and Audi R8 LMS GT3 sportscar competed at the same race event for the first time. Connor De Phillippi, ADAC GT Masters championship leader together with Christopher Mies, used a photo session with Edoardo Mortara to try the seat for size in his Castrol EDGE Audi RS 5 DTM. “I drove in the DTM supporting program for three years, and obviously you dream of racing in the DTM yourself,” says the US American. “It was great that Edo took the time to explain the cockpit to me.” Mattias Ekström attends world premiere of new Audi A5 Audi celebrated the world premiere of the new A5 and S5 Coupé with a spectacular 3D lightshow on Thursday evening at its Ingolstadt headquarters. Among the leading protagonists was Audi factory driver Mattias Ekström: the Swede drove an Audi RS 5 DTM onto the Piazza before the new A5 was unveiled. “It was a marvelous show and I’m proud that I was able to be a part of this world premiere,” said Ekström, who travelled directly from the presentation to the Motorsport Festival at the Lausitzring. “I’m sure that you can make a great race car from the new A5.” Audi Sport with new Twitter address Audi Sport’s official Twitter account has a new name.
