Depends on the model. RS4 differs from the S4. Our car is 60/40 Front /Rear. They drive more like a FWD car in that they tend to push or understeer in corners.

The Skyline on the other hand is a rear-biased AWD car and drives more like a RWD car.


After doing a quick search, it seems the STI is capable of going from 35/65 up to 50/50 split Front/Rear.
