Dynamics of the movement on the dry road

There are no doubts that the torsen-differential acts correctly and with sense at bad stickiness on the road. Therefore here the explanation of what happens in Audi Quattro transmission on the dry road is still given: as it was already mentioned, forward wheels on turn pass longer piece of a way, than back wheels as back wheels describe an arch of smaller radius.

In this regard the torsen-differential transfers bigger driving effort of a back axis (because of their smaller speed) that supports the necessary tendency to turn inside.

If speed too big and at the same time one of back wheels is turned, then the differential transfers big driving force to slower forward wheels at present at once. Bystry reaction of system promotes what forward wheels pull stronger, and the car is stabilized. Effect: running characteristics in the extreme range of turn improve.
