drive unit pre-emptively
diverts torque to the outer rear wheel immediately based on inputs such as steering wheel angle, lateral acceleration, yaw and speed.
IDD is an innovative system that manages
torque split by sending all power to the rear axle in normal
driving until it predicts, based on sensor data such as yaw rate, steering wheel angle and lateral acceleration that
torque should be
diverted to the front axle.
An eight - speed automatic transmission is standard with the BMW 650i, and the xDrive in its name reflects the presence of an all - wheel
drive system — one that has been tuned to
divert the majority of engine
torque to the rear wheels unless road conditions call for a more traction - friendly split.
Project 8 is set up to be 100 - percent rear -
drive in steady - state
driving, but can
divert a maximum of 20 percent of
torque to the front end when necessary (15 percent in Track mode), making it fractionally more rear - biased than the F - Type SVR.
Offroad Detection technology The advanced engines and transmissions are complemented by the latest incarnation of the quattro four - wheel -

torque to the back wheels in normal
driving conditions, and can
divert up to 85 per cent rearwards or 65 per cent to the front in order to retain traction on rougher surfaces if necessary.
During normal
driving, the GT - R behaves like a rear -
