Not exact matches
Yes, it's easy to tell that the front tyres are doing the work, but there's no sense
of torque steer on these admittedly smooth roads and
traction -
control intervention is pretty restrained.
Even better, the stability and
traction control system largely stays out
of the way, the only time you feel
intervention is delays in throttle response and that's only when the tires are in mid-slide, so you shouldn't be asking for throttle anyway.
The addition
of four - wheel drive as standard does at least provide the A8 with superb
traction, and its ability to carry big speeds through fast corners without premature
intervention of the stability
control system, even on damp roads, is impressive.
A brief push on this button switches the system to Dynamic
Traction Control, in which DSC's intervention threshold is raised; one effect of this setting is improved traction in de
Traction Control, in which DSC's
intervention threshold is raised; one effect
of this setting is improved
traction in de
traction in deep snow.
This is because in the lower gears the torque flow is managed to avoid great gobs
of unwanted
traction control intervention, which wouldn't do at all in a Bentley.
Also in regard to brakes, the new Vantage S has a new brake booster designed to reduce pedal travel and allow for more discreet
interventions of the stability
control and
traction control systems.
In this mode, vehicle systems like
Traction Control are pared back in terms
of intervention to allow spirited off - road driving without fighting the vehicle's on - board systems.
A feature inherited from the Corvette, CDM disables
traction control while adjusting the settings
of Stabilitrak
intervention to enable drivers a reasonable amount
of traction loss before coming to the rescue.
In Dynamic mode it also reduces the
intervention of electronic
traction control.

Proof
of this, for instance, is the adoption
of the most advanced electronic dynamic
control devices (for braking and traction): the Vehicle Dynamic Control system, which manages key functions, like Hill Holder, traction control and emergency braking, the MSR system, which prevents wheel locking when the throttle is released, the DST (Dynamic Steering Torque) system, Electronic Q2, which electronically simulates the presence of a self - locking differential, and the brand - new Prefill system, which alerts the braking system that the accelerator pedal has been released, to decrease intervention time and consequently braking di
