At the Geneva motor show, Audi will present a new batch of A3 Sportback. Earlier, however, the manufacturer subjected the fourth generation of this car to a unique test. On the Portuguese island of San Miguel, belonging to the archipelago of the Azores, this compact car is currently undergoing tests to gather the experience of dynamic driving on the island's difficult routes.In the harsh landscape of San Miguel, the city where the spectacular Azores rally takes place, the fourth-generation A3 with all-wheel drive is being tested. The heart of the quattro drive is an electro-hydraulic multi-disc clutch located at the end of the driveshaft in front of the rear axle differential. This mounting position contributes to a balanced distribution of loads between the axes. Inside it is a package of tiles that move, submerged in oil. Metal rings slip clutches are arranged in pairs, one after the other - one ring in each pair is constantly involved with rotującą the clutch housing, which rotates with the shaft drive with the propeller shaft, and every second ring - short shaft output shaft connected to a differential on the rear axle.
Audi has specially adapted the electronic torque distribution adjustment to the new A3 model and linked it to the Audi drive select driving dynamics system. It receives the necessary data from the sensors in the suspension and, in addition to the characteristics of the road surface and the condition of the road surface, also recognizes the driving style. Based on this data, the controller calculates the optimal torque distribution and transmits this value to the clutch.
