S5 Sportback

quattro: Assured cornering

A car such as the Audi S5 Sportback needs special treatment to transfer its power to the road. Enter quattro, Audi’s renowned four-wheel-drive technology. With quattro, optimal drive delivery to each wheel is managed automatically and continuously, for superior handling and phenomenal grip – even in less than perfect driving conditions.

In 1980, the Audi quattro was the first permanent four-wheel drive production car. So while the technology is thoroughly tried and tested, it has also been enhanced and evolved ever since it was first introduced.
