Although there's no word on what powers the Concept Estate, the Concept Coupe employs a plug - in hybrid powertrain with a 2.0 - liter turbocharged and supercharged four - cylinder engine, as well as an electric motor mated to the rear axle for a total of 400 hp and 590 lb - ft of torque.

It features all - original panels, the aforementioned 375 - horsepower 429 - cubic - inch V - 8 coupled to a four - speed Toploader manual transmission sending all that power to a 3.91 Traction - Lok rear axle.

There's four - wheel drive with a twin - clutch rear diff that offers a proper torque vectoring system that takes into account throttle position, steering angle and road surface when distributing power across the rear axle and for the GSi it features a unique set of calibrations.

The front - axle tromp was no better here, though, as the all - wheel - drive Haldex system takes its time in putting power to the rear.

Power hard out of a tight corner and there's a sense the rear axle is helping rotate the tail a little, reducing understeer and helping you carry more speed down the next straight.

Available all - wheel drive manages torque split between the front and rear axles, putting more power to different axles as needed

Drive is still sent to all four wheels via a seven - speed S tronic dual - clutch transmission, though the latest setup can now send up to 100 per cent of the car's power to the rear wheels alone, in certain situations, with a torque vectoring effect through the multi-plate clutch on the rear axle to also divert power to the wheels with the greatest grip.

And despite the four - wheel drive system being technically capable of sending all torque to the rear axle, you'll never actually feel it do so when powering away from a bend.

Under normal circumstances power is split 40/60 front to rear but up to 70 per cent of power can go to the front axle or 85 per cent to the rear should conditions demand it.

It makes use of an electronic, multiplate clutch to shift torque between the front to rear axles as necessary, and BMW's Performance Control system directs power to the outside rear wheel during cornering.

It does this 200 times a second and, when necessary, quickly reroutes power to the wheels to eliminate understeer by pushing as much as 50 percent of the power to the rear axle.

What's Under the Covers Like the gasoline - powered Mitsubishi i - car upon which this pure electric is based, the propulsion hardware is located just ahead of the rear axle — as in the standard «mid-engine» format.

Our car also came with the optional sports differential, which redistributes torque across the rear axle to help sharpen the cornering line under power in an instinctive fashion.

Saab calls its all - wheel - drive system Cross Wheel Drive, because it can distribute engine power across the rear axle as well as to the front or rear wheels.

There is also an all - wheel - drive mode that uses the electric motor in the rear axle in combination with the gasoline engine that powers the front wheels, and the driver can also choose to save the car's battery power for later electric - only driving.

One electric motor on the front axle and two on the rear send power to all four wheels.

The FF, like all modern V - 12 Ferraris, has its engine mounted completely behind the front axle but its transmission at the rear of the car, so Ferrari knew it would have a tough time getting power to the front wheels.

Engine power: 608 hp at 8,600 / min (V8 engine) 154 hp (hybrid module on rear axle) 127 hp (electric motor on front axle) 887 hp (combined) Max.

With more power and torque to distribute the rear axle is still easily overwhelmed, but, on track at least, the car is actually very fluid and languid in the way it moves from neutrality into oversteer — rather than being spikey and difficult to control.

Power is routed to all four wheels via Mercedes - AMG's 4Matic + variable all - wheel drive system, which features an electromechanically controlled clutch that connects the front to the rear axle.

Being a highly - tuned, normally - aspirated engine throttle response is razor sharp, which means you can precisely manipulate the rear axle under power.
