The proper Audi quattro system - which has been refined continuously over the last 25 years uses a torsen system.

Haldex is only used on VW derived vehicles - the A3 and TT - both of Golf DNA.

Haldex is for transverse engine applications. Torsen for longitudinal.

Haldex is vastly inferior to Torsen, ie VW syncro or 4 motion or whatever they call it these days is nothing like the real quattro system.
