The 2010 Quattro from Audi is a luxury touring vehicle with the features similar to that of a sport utility model. Performance will be the key feature for the new Quattro variant. Beyond the car's valuable engines, the other standard features in the next generation Quattro include, electronic brake force distribution, pneumatic suspension that provides good ground clearance for all the driving conditions, electronic stabilization program technology, five valves per cylinder in the engine block, electronic differential locks, all road Quattro technology that supplies equal power to all the wheels and electronic brake force distribution.

Now this brings us to the current B8 Audi A4 1.8 TFSI launched around two years ago. The car I tried is owned by a friend of mine and it is a car that is very familiar to me. His ride pictured above is the 1.8TFSI 160bhp spec that comes with the larger 18inch tires and rims. It looks so much better than the stock 17inch rims that the standard car is specced with.

I suppose it was because of nearly universal criticism of mega understeer that Audi had finally decided to re-engineer the engine and gearbox placement of the A4. The wheels are now at least 8cm forward compared to the earlier setup and this equates to better handling as well steering feel. The car does not drive like you were sitting just slightly behind an arrow's head in flight. You actually have a car in which does not fight the laws of physics all the time unlike the earlier versions.
