This system, which
distributes drive torque variably between the front and rear axle, is now available for the compact model for the first time.
The system is equipped with a new water cooling function, so that it can direct even
more drive torque to the front wheels if necessary.
The system intelligently manages several component systems to
regulate drive torque and braking force at each wheel, reading and reflecting driver intent in real time over a wide range of situations.
It
calculates drive torque and shifts power to the rear axle when required, for better traction on slippery or uneven surfaces.
The system allows up to 100 percent of rear
axle drive torque to be distributed to either rear wheel, according to available grip.
Four electric motors on this vehicle guarantee tremendous thrust, with fully variable and
selective drive torque distribution to the individual wheels.
Through precise distribution
of drive torque this situation can be anticipated and avoided.
The distribution of
drive torque between the axles is controlled electronically within fractions of a second.
The distribution of the electric
drive torque in the R8 e-tron distinctly favored the rear axle.
BMW's xDrive all - wheel - drive system is biased 60/40 toward the rear, which means that the system
sends driving torque to the rear wheels and torque goes to the front wheels as needed to enhance handling.
The drivetrain has all -
wheel drive torque vectoring — apparently, even more precise this year thanks to some re-tuning — and like most electric vehicles, regenerates power under braking.
The two - piece propeller shaft that carries
drive torque from the transfer case to the rear - drive unit is made of high - strength steel tubing to permit a smaller diameter, thereby improving both ground clearance and interior room.
Each Clarity variant provides a smooth, quiet and refined driving experience, aided by the smooth and seamless character of
electric drive torque and acceleration.
A control module computes the ideal
drive torque for the rear axle, and it uses a valve to control how much oil pressure is applied to the working pistons of the multi-plate clutch.
A control module computes the
ideal drive torque for the rear axle and controls, via a valve, how much oil pressure is applied to the working pistons of the multi-plate clutch.
This dynamically oriented driving mode applies appropriate control strategies for later ESP ® intervention and
increased drive torque at the rear axle.
The permanent four - wheel drive system is fitted with a Haldex centre differential which disperses
drive torque as required.
MMC also is introducing an advanced vehicle dynamics control system — S - AWC (Super All Wheel Control)-- for the Lancer that regulates
drive torque at each wheel.
S - AWC integrally manages all of these systems to realize advanced levels of control
over drive torque and braking, thereby upgrading traction, cornering and vehicle stability.
Magnesium wheels, disc brakes, fuel injection, self - sealing tubeless tires, and a direct -
drive torque converter transmission were all evaluated or tested, but were dropped on the final prototype due to cost, engineering complexity, and lack of time to develop.
In basic terms, the hub has additional ball joints to separate the steering from the drive, which mean motions from the steering system play a significantly smaller role in
how drive torque gets to the wheel.
The variable M differential lock responds to differences in rotational speeds in the right and left rear wheel,
redirecting drive torque within a fraction of a second.
An electro - mechanically actuated clutch located in the rear axle both
biases drive torque and disengages the all - wheel drive system downstream of the hypoid gears to save fuel.
I have a yuge 1/2
drive torque wrench that goes from 20 - 100 ft lb but like you say that's more for suspension work nowadays.
Steering that translates the language of the road with maximum fluency and a minimum of the dreaded front - wheel -
drive torque steer, an absorbent yet buttoned - down suspension, and in - it - to - win - it brakes make back - road flying one's preferred mode of conduct, although this is also a grown - up, five - passenger machine with impeccable long - distance and highway credentials.
The system controls damper firmness, steering effort, throttle mapping, automatic - transmission shift points, and all - wheel -
drive torque allocation.
SS4 - II allows the driver to lock the center differential for
maximum drive torque over poor surfaces.
Two metrics play a big role in
drive torque tugging on the steering arms: scrub radius and spindle length.
This produces an
asymmetrical drive torque distribution that matches the dynamic wheel load distribution... This lets the driver apply much greater force to the accelerator pedal at the apex of a bend, which in turn results in significantly higher exit speeds of the Golf GTI Performance out of bends.
Thereafter, when the driver maintains a constant steering angle, GVC immediately recovers
engine drive torque, which transfers load to the rear wheels, enhancing vehicle stability.
The Corolla's new CVTi - S is fitted with an oil pump that features a coaxial 2 - port design that enables a 25 % reduction in
pump drive torque compared to other pump designs, and results in a greater efficiency with its reduction in parasitic engine loss.
It can send up to 70 percent of the
available drive torque to the rear axle when needed, and up to 100 percent to one of the two rear wheels just at the rear axle.
Meanwhile, the Active M differential
splits drive torque between the left and right rear wheels, at the rear axle, to quell understeer.
Whereas drive torque conventionally is distributed evenly to the wheels of the drive axle, a torque vectoring system allocates torque between the wheels as required, noted FZG engineer Philipp Gwinner.
The process is complicated, but the result is pleasing: The extra gear sets after the second electric (drive) motor
amplify drive torque more like a conventional transmission.
A second advantage is that
apportioning drive torque among all four wheels greatly diminishes the likelihood of torque steer.
A new SAVE mode is adopted, which
optimizes driving torque and modifies the shift schedule to improve actual fuel economy when driving highways or open roads.
The software and control experience that Volkswagen has built over the years makes the real - time adjustment of
drive torque seamless and fast, and the handling of the Alltrack simply great.
Then, the control system intervenes, applying or releasing individual wheel brakes, reducing engine power, and in some cases, vectoring
drive torque towards specific wheels, until the anomaly disappears.
Various drive torques generated an additional steering torque, which stops any wheel slippage the moment it starts.
The compact Torsen LSD is capable of handling the 500Nm - plus of torque produced by the IS F's V8 engine, and automatically
diverts drive torque to the rear wheel with the most grip, for example to the outside rear wheel when cornering.
