Volkswagen Golf 1986: Instead of a center differential, a viscous coupling is installed with a freewheel mechanism to disengage the driven axle during braking. Under normal driving conditions, 95% of the torque is transferred to the front axle. If slippage occurs, the coupling locks and up to nearly 100% of the torque is automatically transferred to the rear axle. If one front and one rear wheel lose traction, the car will not move. Audi A6 1994: The vehicle features full-time Quattro IV all-wheel drive with Torsen center differential and electronic traction control, which operates at speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph) and applies braking to spinning wheels, with the effect of locking the front and rear differentials. | |||
