FWD apocalypse, can Xdrive save it?
Food for thought for us.
If we accept that this concept will end up on a FWD platform, and also that the future trend will be towards FWD for marketshare, is there a possibility that an XDrive version could be built that would allow for a very strong rear bias? I know FWD platform Audis with Quattro have built 40/60 rear-biased AWD for a while now, would it be possible to simply tune the transfer to a 10/90 or even 0/100 split?
If so, then this is not the catastrophe that it seems. Perhaps future tuning by the aftermarket will focus on bringing back a RWD feel to cars sold with Xdrive?
