Volkswagen Golf 1991: 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 100 1990: Vehicle features full-time Quattro II all-wheel drive - Torsen center differential with automatic torque split between front and rear axles, and electro-pneumatic manually-activated rear differential that automatically unlocks at speeds above 25 km/h. | |||
