In page 31 of the allroad brochure, it says it has 'torque vectoring'.
How different is this from the technology that is in the RS5 ?
Does the allroad really have this capability or is the brochure wrong ?
Anyone?

Not the same as your S5's Sports Differential which allows the outer wheels in a turn to rotate faster and thereby provide a much more controlled and consistent turn.

The Allroad's "torque vectoring" is more related to fore-aft Quattro power distribution and fine braking.

"The quattro permanent all-wheel drive is standard on the Audi A4 allroad Quattro... The A4 family uses the self-locking center differential here. In regular driving operation it primarily transmits the engine torque to the rear wheels in the ratio of 40 to 60. If necessary, redistribution occurs within the shortest possible time. The torque vectoring function supplements the work of the center differential with finely incremented brake applications, to make handling even more precise and safer."

Ok thanks. I suppose this is also responsible for bringing up to 85% of the power to the rear wheels of the allroad, or 70% to the front wheels when necessary. I read those numbers too. I think this is the same for the new A4 and A5 and A6 as well.
