it was built as an experiment.... was never meant to be fully drivable im sure! but it would be cool if you could handle like a regular car!!

Should made it AWD and called it a day, that might have helped the handling by distributing the power a little better. And non of that 4Motion crap (no offense), I'm talking realtime AWD.

Not bad for 8 weeks... Like he said, there were a lot of things unfinished.

4Motion *is* realtime AWD (Haldex variable engagement AWD). Realtime means it engages on the fly as needed.

You sound like you're talking about fulltime AWD, something like a Torsen system.

And yet somehow that 4Motion crap is good enough for the Bugatti Veyron (uses the Haldex AWD system).

Might want to learn your AWDs if you're so hung up on them. I just throw my BS card at you, because you have no clue what you're talking about. Which is funny/sad if you drive an S4 with Torsen and don't know what it is.

well, doughnut-burnout competition would be no problem for the GTi W12. Yeah, that is awesome. It's the 20 year later, German version, of a Corvette engine in a Fiero.
