Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC)
with sport mode, can be deactivated in 2 stages; networks
the ABS, EBD, ASR and EDL with its own sensors and
compares driving data with reference data; provides
better stability by targeted braking of individual wheels
and intervention in the engine management system
S tronic®
The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with electrohydraulic
actuation facilitates faster gear changing with hardly any
perceptible break in propulsive power; can be operated
via the shift paddles behind the steering wheel or the
selector lever; in automatic mode the driver can choose
between two programs D (drive) and S (sport), gear
changing characteristics can be changed in automatic
mode through Audi drive select
quattro®
permanent all-wheel drive with asymmetrical-dynamic
wheel-selective torque control, self-locking crown
gear centre differential and wheel-selective torque
control; distributes the driving forces depending on the
driving situation to each individual wheel for precisely
controlled sporty handling
quattro® with sport differential
The electronically controlled sport differential variably
distributes driving force to each wheel and ensures
outstanding acceleration performance in corners and
stabilises the vehicle’s response to load change. It also
improves direct steering characteristics and provides
more agile handling due to the lower steering effort
required.
Electronic regulation of the top speed at 280 km/h
Recuperation
increasing the generator voltage converts kinetic energy
into usable electrical energy when the vehicle is coasting
or braking. This brake energy recovery is then used to
assist the generator during subsequent acceleration,
saving up to 3 % fuel.
Integrated head restraint system
In the case of a rear-end collision, the shape of the front
seats better restrains the upper body and provides more
support for the head than conventional systems. This
increases the level of protection and reduces the risk
of a whiplash injury.
Instrument cluster
with black dials, red needles, and RS logo in the
rev counter; dynamic ready-check; with adjustable
lighting, electronic speedometer with odometer and
trip odometer, rev counter, radio-controlled clock
(GPS clock in conjunction with MMI navigation plus),
coolant tempera ture display and fuel gauge
Safety steering column
includes a shunt mechanism with damping function
to supplement the protection offered by the seat belts
and airbags
Seat belts
automatic 3-point belts for all seats, with belt force
limiter, seat belt tensioner and seat belt reminder, front
Warning triangle
with bracket on the inside of the luggage compartment
lid
First-aid kit
in the storage compartment in the centre armrest, rear
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
for improved traction, reduces spinning of the
drive wheels
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
On surfaces with varying levels of grip, this start-off
assistant automatically brakes the drive wheels on any
surface that is too slippery, thereby ensuring smooth,
powerful progress; operates at speeds up to approx.
100 km/h.
