Interesting! Both Audi and Alfa's of these models have Torsen center differentials and open front- and rear differentials. Difference should be mostly in the way ESP is programmed.
If I understood this well, Alfa Q4 have physically open diffs but the Traction Control switches it from left to right, but not front to rear? I always believed it was done by hardware, so when Traction Control is switched off there is only 60 to 40 ratio and all other diffs are open?
@@4x4.tests.on.rollers Thanks. It seems like the Audi setup is better when the conditions are not ideal, snow or mud, but Alfa always sends 60% of power to the back and transfer the torque from side to side while cornering which I suppose is better for sporty driving feel. Subjectively those two cars are very different, with Alfa handling and driving much better, no real contest in that regard.
@@BojanBojovic The only advantage of Audi is traction control which works not only side to side but also front to back. Front and rear diffs are open in both cars, Alfa is 60/40 rwd biased so no understeer like 50/50 Audi (which is also nose heavy).
Very interesting video, thank you! Nice different effective tests. Btw, did the cars get unstuck when applying a bit of hand brake/brakes? It would have been interesting to see (for example on the case of only rear axle wheels spinning).
Thank you! We tried using brakes a few times but it didn't help. Here are the videos: ua-cam.com/video/AP98iNAbuVI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Zafp2_IcgG0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/R10r396Laho/v-deo.html
The difference in operation between the 2 Audis is quite difficult to explain; different traction control settings, failure on one model? On the other hand, the Alfa, whose traction control is fully ESP dependent, is experiencing problems already seen on some Audi Quattro with Torsen, it seems to me, with a center differential that would need a little more "active" traction control to properly manage front-rear torque transfers.
@@bartomiejhunter Yes, but I don't think that is the problem. A Torsen requires traction control to help with the front to rear torque transfer. The transfer rate is not high enough with the Torsen found in consumer cars. Especially since the Torsen is not a differential that locks itself, even partially.
@@Softroader By the way - did you ever looked inside the Mitsubishi L200 Super Select transmission? I was wondering recently how's RWD mode working there, is it omitting the torsen differential or is it locking it with no connection to the front driveshaft...
Generalnie nie potrafie tego wytlumaczyc co zaszlo na tym filmie podczas tego testu, ale skoro Alfa ma naped staly na 4 kola (nie dolaczany w zaden elektroniczny sposob) to jakim cudem auto nie zjechalo z rolek, gdy tylnia os byla na rolkach lub przednia os sama na rolkach ?

Nie ma tu żadnej tajemnicy ani problemu technicznego. Alfa ma centralny mechanizm różnicowy torsen.
