Even the base V6 is more than sufficient thanks in part to the Quickshift transmission, which disconnects the torque converter once you're in second gear to create a direct
mechanical connection between the engine and the rear wheels.
The flat bottomed steering wheel may look like it just came off an AMG car (the B - Class does have the optional AMG package installed), but in reality it lacks feel, it's soft and it doesn't appear to have any direct

glorious mechanical connection I've come to love.
But since there's no
actual mechanical connection to the transmission, it takes a second for the computer to place itself in your desired gear position once you've selected it, which can be annoying if you're trying to make a quick maneuver that requires a three - point turn.
To get that kind of old -
school mechanical connection with the road, you either need to go vintage or look to a specialty brand, such as Lotus.
For what it's worth, if we were buying one of these, we'd go for the manual, with its excellent clutch and shift feel and the
extra mechanical connection that third pedal offers.
Another way - the only way for devices that can not be powered via a direct
mechanical connection because they do not rely on rotary motion - is to make the generation of electricity more efficient.
The Synergy Drive is a drive - by - wire system with no direct
mechanical connection between the engine and the engine controls: both the gas pedal / accelerator and the gearshift lever in an HSD car merely send electrical signals to a control computer.
Yet if an engineer could have studied the air pressures on wings, cabin and ailerons (the movements a the latter under control of the lever), the motion of the propellers,
the mechanical connections of these to the motor, and the gas explosions in the latter, he would have found that the plane was merely following a necessary course, determined at all moments by well - established physical principles — except that this would not account for the motions of the levers.
The second corresponds to a removable prosthesis, maintaining
a mechanical connection with the bone and an electrical connection with the implanted electrodes.
In such cases, an understanding of the friction between two pieces of graphene, or between graphene and another material, is important for maintaining a good electrical, thermal, and
mechanical connection.
Unlike other surgical glues, which chemically bond with a tissue surface, this glue makes
a mechanical connection — infiltrating spaces between the collagen fibers in the tissue and locking in.
Compared with the buttons and dials most off - road vehicles now employ, it's gratifying to feel
a mechanical connection coursing through the transfer case lever on the TRD Off - Road.
@juhist Yeah, I was referring to AWD systems where there is
a mechanical connection between front and rear wheels.
Although all - wheel drive governed by torque vectoring is standard, there is
no mechanical connection between the axles.
In an automatic transmissions N is actually the same as D in that none of the clutches are engaged except in D there is
a mechanical connection to an internal transmission brake.
Drive by wire systems have
no mechanical connection between the input decive (like a throttle / gas pedal) and the output device (like the engine).
A World's First Technology, INFINITI's Direct Adaptive Steering ® (DAS) removes
the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires, allowing for instantaneous driver input that can be digitally processed and adjusted up to 1,000 times per second.
The control surfaces are numb and aloof, especially the steering, which after the Atom's doesn't appear to offer
any mechanical connection between the suede rim and the front wheels.
Electrified powertrains add another option when it comes to AWD systems, namely the ability to use an electric motor to power a set of wheels with two axles in tandem without
any mechanical connection to the other set.
Q50's Direct Adaptive Steering ® digitally transmits steering inputs directly to the wheels without
a mechanical connection, so you steer smoother than you ever imagined, with less effort to stay in the lane and high degree of customization.
In fact, I was so confused as to what exactly the automaker was going for here that I turned to the automaker's website: «INFINITI's Direct Adaptive Steering ® (DAS) removes
the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tire, allowing for instantaneous driver input that can be digitally processed and adjusted up to 1,000 times per second.»
There is
no mechanical connection between the engine and the clutch.
There is
no mechanical connection between the two, so there is no center tunnel for the drive shaft, saving space and weight.
The RX 450hL comes standard with a unique AWD system that uses elector motors to turn the rear wheels rather than
a mechanical connection to the engine and transmission.
An interesting option is Infiniti's Direct Adaptive Steering, which is anything but «direct» and features
no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels.
All - wheel drive,
no mechanical connection required.
Other power steering systems (such as those in the largest off - road construction vehicles) have no direct
mechanical connection to the steering linkage; they require electrical power.
As long as there is pressure in the car's hydraulic system, there is
no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the roadwheels.
Unlike other steering setups, there is
no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the Q50's front wheels.
Systems of this kind, with
no mechanical connection, are sometimes called «drive by wire» or «steer by wire», by analogy with aviation's «fly - by - wire».
A firmer press of the accelerator will kick the engine on, but below 43 mph it remains decoupled meaning this series hybrid mode works like the Chevrolet Volt does, with
no mechanical connection between the engine and drive wheels.
The Altea freetrack is available with four - wheel drive via a Haldex - type arrangement with a hydro -
mechanical connection and electronic control, to ensure that the tractive force is distributed permanently in a progressive and precise manner.
Optional above the conventional power rack - and - pinion steering, a clutch decouples so there is
no mechanical connection between steering wheel and wheels.
Your vehicle's brake fluid is a vital component in your braking system, creating
a mechanical connection between your foot and the wheels.
An even broader (somewhat figurative) sense of the word refers to every pair of parallel wheels on opposite sides of a vehicle, regardless of
their mechanical connection to each other and to the vehicle frame or body.
Previous iterations of the Transformers had a massive bulge in the bottom to aid the stabilization of the display, as well as enable
the mechanical connections that kept it in place.
Indeed, in a free - piston engine there is
no mechanical connection between the piston and a crankshaft.
You can power it directly through
a mechanical connection - as was the case with all pedal powered machines for sale at the turn of the 20th century.
