The 2967cc V6 TDI churns out 50 kgm from around 1500 rpm and the power delivery is virtually seamless. Auto-shifts are as quick as lighting and the driver can also manually change gears using paddles if he or she feels like it. Audi's Ouattro system gives the 05 a 40:60 torque split lalso found in the A4, A5 and Q71 to the front and rear axles under normal driving conditions, giving rear biased handling until things get slippery. and then. up to 85 per cent of torque can be sent to the rear axle and up to 65 per cent up front. The 05 has a road oriented set-up. but if you do decide to turn off the tarmac and onto the dirt.
The stability control has an off-road mode which adapts according to the surface and incorporates hill descent control. All right, all of that information was gathered after tremendous research from company literature and 1 hope it is useful to you. The 05 offers 20 cm of ground clearance for off-roading and 50 cm while going through water or crossing a stream. The stability programme can automatically identify road conditions and choose the ideal setup. It also offers approach and departure angles of 25 degrees, which 1 did try out, but 1 couldn't find too many rivers to ford, though.
