Sentences with phrase «rear wheelspins»

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.

Not exact matches

The standard all - wheel drive has a rear - wheel bias, which means it feels like a rear - wheel - drive car but the front pair activates when needed and prevents wheelspin.

There's more wheelspin now, a more pronounced rear bias, a more blunt invitation to kick out the tail and keep it there.

In addition to the aforementioned horizontal motion damper, the Ram SRT - 10 combats wheelspin with a limited - slip differential, 305 - section Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires, and a surprisingly good 56/44 percent front / rear weight distribution.

By mid-corner the rear tyres are gripping again and the fronts are pushing - on, away from your chosen line and bleeding away the bulk of the forward thrust through rampant wheelspin.

To help enhance rear - wheel grip when accelerating, the INFINITI QX50's Traction Control System senses wheelspin and automatically reduces engine output and / or brakes the spinning wheel to help improve traction.

Because the weight of a car is shifted toward the rear under acceleration in all cars as a rule, this further improves the amount of grip on the rear wheels, increasing the amount of torque that can be supplied to the rear wheels before wheelspin occurs.

However, it can lock to prevent unwanted wheelspin on a slick road, or send up to 85 per cent to the rear wheels if that's what's needed.

Aero invokes the aerodynamic pop - up rear wing (it swings into position when braking from 60 mph and above), Manual lets you shift gears using paddle shifters, Winter eases the car's performance characteristics so you don't slide around, and Launch lets you make a full throttle start with no wheelspin.

It's all very clever — the traction control doesn't just throw a bunch of ABS at the wheelspin, instead managing the throttle, rear - wheel steering, magnetorheological dampers, and electronic rear differential to put the power down.

In the M5's default 4WD mode, all drive torque goes to the rear wheels until the system detects the slightest trace of wheelspin.

The new front limited - slip diff will complement the standard rally - friendly features of the RS model including torque vectoring control, which applies brake force to reduce wheelspin at the front axle, and a dynamic torque vectoring system that uses electronically controlled clutch packs at the rear axle to send 100 percent of available rear axle torque to either rear wheel when needed.

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.

Also available is a Self - Leveling Suspension (SLS) with rear air springs that allow for driver control of rear suspension height, as well as computer - controlled raising of rear ride height when wheelspin is detected at low speeds off highway.

Each mode features a different front / rear axle power distribution ratio, and each mode allows for different amounts of wheelspin to handle various types of off - road driving.

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.

Called Dynamic Torque Control, this set - up is essentially front - wheel drive, but uses an electromagnetic clutch pack to send up to 50 percent of the engine's power to the rear axle when it detects wheelspin.

The Quattro all - wheel - drive and sport rear differential expertly mete power to the road without a hint of wheelspin.

The limited - slip unit in the GMC's rear axle needs wheelspin before it'll work, so the gnarliest, loosest spots took lots of throttle and momentum to negotiate.

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).

The advanced four - wheel - drive system monitors wheelspin and uses the disconnect system to disengage the rear axle when it's not needed.

After some modest wheelspin, wait for the snake's massive rear P345 / 30ZR -19 Michelin Pilot Sport ZPs to grip the asphalt, then it is pedal to the metal.

Electronic traction control is also fitted to rear mechanical limited slip differentials, preventing wheelspin and improving grip.

The long list of standard equipment includes items you won't find in just any $ 25,000 car, including rear - seat side - impact air bags; an Electronic Stability Program, which applies brakes individually to help prevent spin - outs; the previously mentioned traction control, which regulates throttle and ignition to help prevent wheelspin; and a system to sense whether a child seat is in place in the shotgun seat — if so, the passenger - side front air bag is deactivated.

The new TORSEN LSD keeps wheelspin in check, preserving the rear tires and ensuring that the car goes in the general direction you're pointing when you mash the throttle.

When the traction control is removed, it now feels as if the ferocious power of the engine really is being channelled down to two small contact patches on the rear tyres, and anything other than the most precise throttle and steering applications when exiting a corner will cause instant wheelspin.
