Consequently, probably
more wheelspin than optimal is invoked.
There's a new traction control system that allows a user - selectable amount of rear wheel slip, from 1 per cent to 12 per cent for a bit
more wheelspin and potentially a nice dab of oppo.
There's
more wheelspin now, a more pronounced rear bias, a more blunt invitation to kick out the tail and keep it there.
When strong grip is broken mid-turn, the force a turbo engine is working against is gone and it can spool up double - quick, which means more power and
more wheelspin and a wild slide where a moment before there was order.
Not exact matches
More impressive still is that the S doesn't lose even a scrap of accelerative force to
wheelspin; it simply hunkers down and rips angrily into the tarmac, shrink - wrapping distances in the process.
There's a bit of axle tramp as the tyres skip with just enough
wheelspin, but then, as they bite, the engine falls off cam for a split second before hauling hard once
more.
Yet the White is
more effective on the brakes, there are a whole load
more messages coming from the nose, and it claws its way out of the turns with no fuss or frustrating
wheelspin.
With the stability control systems in standard mode, rear
wheelspin is frequently and noticeably reined - in by the TC — it doesn't take
more than a tickle on the throttle to activate the fun police.
With not a chirrup of
wheelspin and scarcely
more than a sci - fi whir from the motors, the P100D takes off.
Standard traction control helps curtail
wheelspin, although the engine has
more than enough power and torque to make the optional Vehicle Dynamics Control stability system worth serious consideration, particularly if you live in an area where rain or snow are common.
With
more time to master
wheelspin, we estimate that the time would drop by another half second, or maybe not.
Since it aspires to all - weather mobility instead of all - terrain capability, the motor simply adds
more torque automatically to the rear wheels if
wheelspin is detected.
The manually locking rear differential from the earlier generations was replaced with a conventional open differential, with Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)(which detects
wheelspin via ABS road wheel speed sensors, and applies brakes to one spinning wheel, thus transferring torque via open differential to the opposite wheel which has
more traction).
During acceleration the traction at or near zero km / h benefits from
more static load to better resist
wheelspin.
The impulse triggers kick in under
wheelspin and when you lock the wheels from braking hard, but I honestly didn't notice it as much as playing something like Forza 6 for instance, where the feedback in the impulse trigger is a lot
more nuanced.
Such perks may do a variety of things like a permanent discount when purchasing cars, earning better prizes in Horizon
Wheelspin or also being
more influential when voting in online roam.
