steering angle, acceleration and braking in percent, AWD torque distribution, and lateral, acceleration and braking g - force.
There's no doubt that the GT2 loses ground to the 599 in those entry phases - it just doesn't have the same mechanical purchase on the surface — and, of course, its less linear power delivery makes holding a stable throttle position through the turn
more difficult, but when you release the
steering angle and squeeze the right pedal to the floor, the combination of twin turbochargers and rear - engine traction are imperious.
The result is that a few hundred milliseconds after you turn in for a corner, the rear end turns
more, making you dial out a bit of
steering angle, then dial it back in once the rear wheels respond to the secondary input.

more control and agility and requires less
steering angle for any given corner.
But as
more engine torque is called upon by the driver, the Haldex's electronic brain does the math by registering axle loads, tire slip and
steering angle, then commands the fast - acting electro - hydraulic center differential to continuously vary torque distribution to enhance rear traction with a torque split that is biased to the rear wheels by as much as 100 percent.

My first impression as I pressed the «start» button and adjusted the driver's seat position and the
steering wheel reach and
angle in the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid TRG (TRG is short for Touring) was very favorable: Right there on the dashboard were numbers informing me that the car had
more than 600 miles of range.
Because of the increase in structural rigidity, the «R» mode enables the vehicle to achieve the same yaw rate with reduced
steering angle for a crisper,
more communicative
steering response, while the «Comfort» suspension setting produces less vertical G - loading in testing when compared to the «Normal» suspension setting.
In addition, the
steering wheel
angle has been reduced from 24 degrees to 22 degrees for a
more natural control position.
The maximum
steering wheel
angles - an indicator of
steering effort - were reduced during the obstacle - avoidance test by 22 percent on average;
steering wheel

steering wheel, were eliminated.
This new feature is based on the speed - sensitive power
steering and also offers a variable rack ratio which changes as a function of the
steering angle so that the driver only has to turn the wheel slightly when cornering; the Sports Coupé therefore responds far
more spontaneously to
steering commands and offers even sportier handling.
This ratio increases sharply from a
steering angle of five degrees so that the driver only has to move the
steering wheel slightly when cornering: the CLC responds
more spontaneously than with a constant - ratio
steering set - up, giving the driver even better control of the vehicle.
The standard progressive

steering even
more direct and a new damping concept.
The control unit will pre-emptively distribute
more torque to the outside wheels when cornering based on lateral acceleration and
steering angle, contributing to a neutral and predictable base handling balance.
Because of the increase in structural rigidity, the «R» mode now enables the vehicle to achieve the same yaw rate with reduced
steering angle for a crisper,
more communicative
steering response, while the «Comfort» suspension setting produces less vertical G - loading in testing when compared to the «Normal» suspension setting.
