A perfect combination
of striking
vehicle proportions and exceptionally engaging driving experience is created on dedicated
rear -
wheel - drive platforms.
On dry - ish pavement, the car feels much like a
rear -
wheel drive, V6 powered C - Class; in some
vehicles, agility and turning is compromised due to the added weight and complexity
of the AWD system, though we simply didn't notice that here.
For a
rear -
wheel - drive
vehicle with an axle ratio
of 3.55:1, the drive shaft would have to rotate 3.55 times to rotate the
rear axle once.
The available AWD system monitors
wheel - spin, throttle position and
vehicle speed and sends up to 50 %
of the available power to the
rear wheels for better traction in adverse conditions.
Consequently, a greater amount
of drive force is distributed to the outside
rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle's vertical axis.
Automatically optimizes the front - to -
rear brake force distribution to reduce the tendency
of rear wheel lockup, especially when the
vehicle is unloaded.
