	[[VWAG]] has been developing all wheel drive and four wheel drive (4WD) systems since nearly its inception during the [[Second World War]]. The [[Kubelwagen]], [[Schwimmwagen]] and [[Volkswagen_Beetle#The_military_Beetle\|Kommandeurwagen]] were all military vehicles that required power to all four wheels, the latter being a 4WD [[Beetle]]. Their military and all wheel drive experiences later aided them in designing the [[Volkswagen_Iltis\|Iltis]] for the German military, in the 1970's. The Iltis utilized an early form of AWD which would become synonymous with quattro.

	In that original quattro system, obviously later found in passenger cars, the [[engine]] and [[Transmission (mechanics)\|transmission]] are situated in a [[longitudinal]] position. Power is sent through the [[Transmission (mechanics)\|transmission]] to a mechanical center [[differential (mechanics)\|differential]] which splits it between the front and rear axles. AWD was turned on permanently.
