Lift off the throttle, and the all - wheel - drive system now diverts less torque to the front axle, reducing understeer.

Most of the time the M760's all - wheel drive system is rear drive - biased, but when required xDrive will reduce the torque flow to the rear axle and direct it forward.

Available all - wheel drive manages torque split between the front and rear axles, putting more power to different axles as needed

Drive is still sent to all four wheels via a seven - speed S tronic dual - clutch transmission, though the latest setup can now send up to 100 per cent of the car's power to the rear wheels alone, in certain situations, with a torque vectoring effect through the multi-plate clutch on the rear axle to also divert power to the wheels with the greatest grip.

And despite the four - wheel drive system being technically capable of sending all torque to the rear axle, you'll never actually feel it do so when powering away from a bend.

On front driven cars, the motor sits about over the front axles, which means any torque applied to the frame by the motor would not cause an increase or decrease of «weight» on the front wheels, only on the rear wheels.

(Volkswagen's 4Motion all - wheel drive normally operates in front - wheel - drive mode until the system detects slip, at which point the differential can send 100 percent of available engine torque to the rear axle.)

We drove the «All 4» version which, like its Countryman sister, uses a part - time four - wheel drive system to redistribute torque to the rear axle when slip is detected at the front.

The all - wheel drive system is controlled by a set of electro - hydraulic clutches that vary torque between both axles according to both the conditions and driver mode selected.

But it's not plain - old front - wheel drive, the R uses VW's XDS pseudo LSD that employs the front brakes to try and evenly distribute torque across the front axle.

Up to 70 % of drive torque can be diverted to the rear axle, and up to 100 % of available torque at the rear axle can be sent to each rear wheel, the automaker says.

The four - wheel drive system can send up to 50 per cent of its torque to the rear axle, although it is primarily front - wheel drive like all Haldex - based systems.

But here's what you can't have on the Audi: a choice of two biturbo dry - sump lubricated engines; Porsche Active Suspension Management (standard on the Turbo) and an optional, height - adjustable air suspension; a rear - biased all - wheel - drive system that can quickly divert up to 100 percent of torque to either axle via a multiplate electronic clutch; and available ceramic composite brakes and Porsche Torque Vectoring, the latter distributing rear twist from side totorque to either axle via a multiplate electronic clutch; and available ceramic composite brakes and Porsche Torque Vectoring, the latter distributing rear twist from side toTorque Vectoring, the latter distributing rear twist from side to side.

The clutch plates in the four - wheel drive system now have a higher friction coefficient, which ensures even faster and more precise torque distribution to the front axle, while the rear axle still features a torque vectoring differential.

The AllGrip four - wheel drive is simple to use (it's switch activated), and can automatically shift torque between the axles to minimise wheelspin and maximise drive.

There's a strong emphasis on rear - drive dynamics, with just enough torque sent to the front axle to enhance corner exit without the muddying effects of excess understeer.

Similar to Tesla's approach, the Generation EQ features a floor - mounted lithium - ion battery paired with an electric motor at each axle, providing permanent all - wheel drive, 402 hp, and 516 lb - ft of torque.

This is made possible by an electromagnetic clutch, which constantly adapts to road conditions and driver behavior, functioning as a rear - drive car when grip is good, but adding progressively more torque to the front axle as needed.

The new 9 - 3 will offer a «through - the - road» hybrid system, with the front - wheel - drive gasoline - engine powertrain supplemented by electrically driven rear wheels, which will be able to provide torque vectoring across the rear axle to aid cornering.

«In this mode, more drive torque is directed to the rear axle, while the amount of permissible rear wheel slip is increased.

The all - wheel - drive system also features Honda's torque - vectoring capability, with clutch packs on either side of the rear differential that can open and close to transfer torque across the rear axle.

The car still very much feels rear - wheel drive when it needs to thanks to the active four wheel drive system diverting torque to the front axle as and when it needs it.

All British S63s will be rear - drive, but in left - hand drive markets Mercedes is now offering the option of a 4 - Matic four - wheel drive version, which uses a transfer box at the back of the gearbox to split torque between axles.

The four - wheel drive system is carried over, too, and it now sends fractionally more torque towards the rear axle.

Four - wheel - drive versions will distribute torque between the axles via a Haldex clutch.
