Disturbing Video of Audi Quattro Performance
While it's true that this video was sponsored by BMW and could have been a bit biased, nonetheless the video is still a bit disturbing.
Watch the comparison of the loss of traction of both vehicles.

I would suspect that the speed sensors at the wheels have been disconnected, at the least. If so the computer cannot tell if the wheels have traction or not. Certainly not the way the Q5 should handle this situation.
The Q5 uses the speed sensors to detect if a wheel looses traction and then applies the brakes on that wheel to force the power to the other wheels that do have traction.

Both of these videos are very disturbing and makes me wonder how powerful Audi's so-called Quattro really is.
So they are all at it???

Since I speak neither German nor Chinese I have no idea how unbiased these comparisons are, but having driven 3 Audi's with Quattro since 2001, in a variety of off road and snow/ice conditions, I have never had wheel slippage remotely close to these two videos and am calling BS. Marketing hype, pure and simple.

Did you drive in seriously thick snow or just a thin sprinkling?
