Audi has fitted 3 asynchronous motors on their SQ8 and I’m wondering why? I mean, Tesla on their dual-motor, has a synchronous motor for urban use and an asynchronous one for like highwhay and stuff like that. Makes sense I guess. So why would Audi chose 3 asynchronous motor? Efficiency speaking, from what I recall, asynchronous motors are « worst » than synchronous one in a « torque needing » situtation. Is it a way for Audi to say that the SQ8 is to be used on the Autobahn only sort of thing? Thanks for your insights.

    Was this done to keep close to their Quattro history? To provide better ‘AWD’ in a sporting manner, while taming torque steering in the front end?
