There's no word on performance specs yet, but Renault says the new model comes with 4Control all - wheel steering as standard, which is supposed to improve
agility in tight turns and improve cornering stability at higher speeds for both Sport and Cup versions.

That's roughly seven cubic feet shy of the current Ford Transit Connect, but the NV200 may have the edge
in terms of
agility: not only is it a half - foot shorter overall, but its
turning radius is 2.3 feet
tighter.
As with similar systems, it can
turn the rear wheels up to five degrees
in the opposite direction from the front wheels at low speeds to improve
agility and
tight manoeuvring (cutting a metre from the old car's 12.4 m
turning circle), and
in the same direction (by up to two degrees) at higher speeds for stability.
The Speed
turns into corners better and keeps a
tighter control of its body movements than the regular Continental, but this is a car that still weighs
in at 2.3 tonnes, so the extra
agility is relative.
It provides 2deg of counter steer on the rear wheels at speeds below 31mph and 3deg of parallel steering at speeds above 31mph, giving the new 911 a
tighter turning circle
in town and the promise of even greater
agility at speed.
GKN's eTwinsterX system gives the GTD18 a high level of
agility, with unprecedented all - wheel torque vectoring capabilities, including the capability to over-speed the outside wheel
in a corner to induce a yaw moment, helping to bring the car into a
tighter line when
turning.
