Audi RS 5 Redefines Driving Dynamics with Dynamic Torque Control quattro

Audi RS 5 Dynamic Torque Control quattro introduces a new chapter in the brand’s performance technology strategy. Developed alongside Audi’s latest plug-in hybrid powertrain architecture, the system brings advanced electromechanical torque vectoring to a production Audi model for the first time.

The technology continuously manages torque distribution between the rear wheels, improving cornering agility, stability, and overall driving precision. Unlike conventional systems, it remains active not only during acceleration but also while braking and coasting, delivering more consistent vehicle control in a wide range of driving conditions.

At the heart of the system is a newly developed rear-axle architecture featuring a 400-volt electric actuator. By directing torque to the wheel with the highest grip, the system enhances responsiveness while maintaining stability at higher speeds.

Dynamic Torque Control quattro works in conjunction with active chassis technologies, electronic differential management, and adaptive suspension systems. The result is a vehicle capable of combining everyday usability with the engaging dynamics expected from an Audi RS model.

Managed by Audi’s new HCP1 high-performance computing platform, the system continuously evaluates driver inputs and vehicle data to optimize torque delivery. This allows the new Audi RS 5 to offer a more precise, predictable, and confidence-inspiring driving experience.
