The real question now is will it be put into production, and will it use the Torsen differential, like it should?

It'll likely be produced, but it'll be quattro. Hopefully at least 60-40.

Probably not because it's a tranverse engine.

Probably , they will produce it... But then, instead of the AWD, it will only be a FWD unless they figure out a way... FWD cars use these transeverse engines...

I don't kow how a transverse engine could be used in All Wheel Drive... But it may be used in Front Wheel Drive...

a Mitsubishi Evo has AWD and a ford laser has FWD...

If car manufacturers like Mitsubishi and Ford can do it... I'm sure audi also can...

a ford laser TX3 most certainly does not have FWD.

Alfa Romeo has AWD and transverse engines.
Mazda in the mazdaspeed6 (I suppose the Famailia Clutch mentioned)
Mitsubishi as mentioned
and all the Audi (and VW) with a transverse engine and the pseudo quattro system like the S3 and even less powerful models. IIRC all the Audi with a longitudinal engine use the original quattro system, mainly mechanic, while those with a transverse engine use a electronic system to command the traction.

Sorry about that... Wouter has confused me so much about asking me how to put an AWD in a transverse engine... I'm also sorry about my English... I hope you'd understand...

It was also when I read in Wikipedia.com... Transverse engines are used by front wheel drive cars...

Transverse engines are used by FWD cars... and some AWD cars.
