The new year is here, along with a deluge of all-new and updated Audi models we’re sure you’re going to love. Among the newcomers is the new A3, A4, A6, Q5, and Q7—to name a few. Yet you might have noticed the name of a familiar piece of technology has been changed slightly on these new offerings. If you’re wondering what Quattro with ultra is, we’re here to explain.

If you’ve ever owned an Audi, you’re no doubt familiar with its unique and innovative Quattro all-wheel drive train.
