Most cars turn by means of a steering sys- tem called Recirculating Ball. Here‘s how it works (bear with us, please): When you tum the steering wheel, the steering column is turned.

This rotates the spiral drive gear.

Which moves the recirculating ball segment.
- Which rotates the sector shaft.
Which moves a lever.
Which,through the tie rods,turns the wheels.
Sounds complicated? Thats precisely our point.

The Audi's wheels tum bymeans of a steer- ing system called Racleand-Pinion. And here's how it works:

When the steering column is tumed, a pinion (which is ba- sically a gear) is rotated This creates horizontal movement of the rack.

Which,throug|'r the tie rods, turns the wheels. Though you may not rmderstand all the words, we’re sure you can see how much sim- pler and more direct our system is. (Fact is, con- sidering the number of moving parts, it's the simplest steering system in the world.)

This simplicity and directness is why you get a better feel of the road with our steering sys- tem than you do with the others. And the better your feel of the road, the more control you have over the car-especially in those sit- uations where split-second correction is so vital.

Rack-and-Pinion steering is just one ofthe Audi' s many points of diHerence. It also has front-wheel drive. Inboard front disc brakes. Why this remarkable car even uses gas differ- ently than most other cars.

And as for the interior, well, it's just as ad- vanced as the rest of the Audi. With posture- fitted seats specifically d igned to help pre- vent fatigue.Vital controls located right on the steering column. And, well, why not come in and see for yourself.
