What's the torque split in the R8?

Like 90/10 (that's what was said on the Audi Channel the other night).

I'm not sure, I think it's 15/85 in normal driving but up to 30% can go to the front. So effectively this is a rear wheel drive awd car and requires a different approach to a normal Quattro which sadly most of the people driving them come from.

...really??? I thought it was more like 35/65 or 25/75. I could easily google this but I'm lazy.

Wow, that's aggressive.

I actually think I'd prefer the R8's AWD system over a traditional RWD setup. You can quote me on that, Footie

Best delete it before T Bone sees it. You will end up being excommunicated.

Seen it on another forum, sad to see that... But before starting the new arguments awd v rwd, WE DONT know what happened before the camera caught him.

Deda · 10-29-2008, 06:51 PM

idiot!

AWD in some conditions gives the driver the feeling of being in control until it is too late and they completely lose it...that may be the case here.

I never understood why someone would spend so much money for a car with no heritage.

VW tried that with the Phaeton. The R8 will be long gone before long.

And DTM and ALMS. What's BMW done lately, other than 1 lucky F1 win this year and WTCC last year?
