What does quattro mean

quattro is a registered trademark of Audi AG, a subsidiary of the German automotive concern, Volkswagen Group, used exclusively on Audi-branded automobiles which utilise four-wheel drive systems. This trademark does not indicate a specific type of a four-wheel drive system in use on the vehicle. Generally, quattro-branded Audi vehicles with transverse engine mounting have Haldex automatic all wheel drive and vehicles with longtitudial engine mounting are using Torsen full-time all wheel drive.

Right, quattro and 4motion are just labels they put on their cars. The four wheel drive is technically the same regardless of a name, and can be even (in theory) produced at the same factory.
