Audi->ke14’s fleet of models, especially in the US where the whole system was partially responsible for turning the image of Audi from a Volkswagen->ke94-owned automaker to a brand that pretty much has stood as its own unique marquee.

If you ask any one of us, we can give you a watered-down version of it, but that wouldn’t be any fun and it wouldn’t be as – how shall we put it – educational as hearing it straight from the horse’s mouth.

That being said, we invite you to watch this six-minute video of Audi explaining what the Quattro system is all about. Pay attention because it’s as close to a crash course as you can get.
