SO theres been a few people comment on the fact that the new S1 is permanent and a few people contradict this. I've also had 2 Audi dealership salesmen tell me its permanent and only 1 Audi dealership salesman tell me its haldex. (before anyone slates my salesmen comment above i know they don't know everything im purely stating what I've heard s far)
So ive compiled abit of evidence in favour of it being both Haldex-type and permanent. also some referring to in being a 60/40 split but can be adjusted to 50/50 through its variable distribution of driven torque.
For permanent:

gtspirit.com, Driving.co.uk, irishtimes, denverpost, designboom, Redbull, topgear, itsgotwheels, motorauthority, 4wheelsnews all state permanent
For Haldex:
EVO states Haldex based:

Autocar and topspeed both state Haldex-type:

So does anyone have proof that it is either permanent or Haldex? from what i have read so far it maybe a Haldex-based system that splits power 60/40 all the time but can adjust it to 50/50.
Any more for any more?
@monopole @The Challinor I've tagged you both as you have both mentioned the Quattro/Haldex on my S1 feedback thread.
@veeeight I've tagged yourself as you seem to be the fountain of Audi knowledge
