Sentences with phrase «biasing on an axle»

Not exact matches

Mechanical grip is aided by a rear - biased weight distribution (54 percent of the F12's weight is on the rear axle), a five - link rear suspension (the 599 used control arms), and enormous Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (315 / 35s at the rear, 255 / 35s in front, all on twenty - inch wheels).

Of course, mechanical grip is aided by a rear - biased weight distribution (54 % of the F12's weight is on the rear axle), a five - link rear axle (the 599 used wishbones) and enormous Michelin Pilot Supersport tires (315 / 35s at the rear, 255 / 35s at front, all on twenty - inch wheels.)

Having the engine on the same side as the driven axle can increase gas efficiency and help increase grip to those wheels under «normal» circumstances but it also biases a lot of weight onto one side of the car.

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 to side.

However, unlike the differentials on the drive axles which are configured to provide torque equally to both wheels, the centre differential is usually set to have a bias to one set of drive wheels or the other, depending on application of the car.

Thanks to front mid-engine and transmission in transaxle configuration on the rear axle, the AMG GT R has a rear - biased weight distribution of 47.3 to 52.7 and a low center of gravity.

The RS 4 Avant will run essentially the same powertrain as the RS 5 Coupe, which means a rear - biased all - wheel drive system, complete with the option of a more responsive Sports differential on the rear axle.

Weight distribution is biased 40 % at the front / 60 % at the rear, reducing inertia on the front axle.

The standard - fit AMG Performance 4MATIC all - wheel drive system features a rear - biased torque distribution of 31 percent to the front axle and 69 percent to the rear axle, providing better vehicle dynamics and higher lateral acceleration on the road, but also improved traction.

- Suspension: front, independent with unequal length A-arms, coil springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bar; rear, rigid axle on semi-elliptical leaf springs with bias mounted shock absorbers - Brakes: power disc / drum - Steering: power assisted, recirculating ball - Weight: 2,570 to 2,680 pounds - Length: 177.2 inches - EPA rating: 19 mpg city / 24 highway - Fuel tank capacity: 13.7 gallons - Base price: $ 7,689

This results in a slightly rear - end biased axle load distribution of 57 % on the rear axle and 43 % on the front axle, combined with an extremely low center of gravity at approximately the height of the wheel hubs, which is ideal for driving dynamics.

Both models retain all - wheel drive, with a 69 - percent bias towards the rear axle, and they ride on steel springs supported by active dampers, controlling the four - link front and five - link rear suspension systems.

- Engine: fuel - injected, 116 - horsepower four cylinder - Transmission: five - speed manual or four - speed automatic with overdrive - Suspension: front, independent with unequal length A-arms, coil springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bar; rear, rigid axle on semi-elliptical leaf springs with bias mounted shock absorbers - Brakes: power disc / drum - Steering: power assisted, recirculating ball - Weight: 2,570 to 2,680 pounds - Length: 177.2 inches - EPA rating:...

Torque distribution on the front and rear axles, which until now was strongly rear - biased, is fully variable for the first time.
