Even during stretches of frequently changing throttle application, it's the most non-CVT CVT we've encountered.

In the quest to eliminate lag and develop a more linear torque and power curve, Porsche developed an anti-lag system that keeps the twin compressors spun and ready for throttle application.

Called i - ACTIV AWD, the four - wheel - drive system uses 27 sensors to monitor everything from throttle application, yaw and steering inputs to decide how best to distribute the engine's torque.

If you're judicious about throttle application and get the tires to hook, though, it's a rocket — that horsepower deficit is offset somewhat by the 450 pound lower curb weight versus the Audi, and the slick six - speed shifter makes rowing the gears a joy.

Oversteer is progressive and you feel the eDiff juggling torque between the rear wheels, especially during initial throttle application when exiting a corner and while countersteering the many slides on the slippery surface.

While not quite the coming of the Frozen Tundra, the temperature dropped to 38 degrees and it was rainy, so feathery throttle applications along eastbound I - 94 proved prudent, especially when changing lanes.

The lean and bob of the body during aggressive steering, braking, and throttle applications reveal compromises baked into the spring and damper calibrations.

The four - wheel drive system adds a layer of security and infallibility; only a very clumsy throttle application in a low gear and on a wet surface will trouble the traction control system.

But don't let that pat description oversimplify the chain of events: Precise, delicate, and perfectly timed steering inputs are required to keep the front end pointed the right way, and even more deliberately timed throttle application is needed to cut the proper arc across the track.

The lightest throttle application sometimes delivered aggressive downshifts.

The M4 shares some traits with the M3 but it feels wider and more stable, carrying even more speed to the apex and then allowing outrageously early throttle application on the way out.

Essentially lifted from the previous generation Z06, it revs more freely than the newer supercharged variant and produces its torque more linearly, an important advantage that favours the racetrack's need for delicate throttle application.

This often occurs in conjunction with the powertrain computer reducing available engine torque by electronically limiting throttle application and / or fuel delivery, retarding ignition spark, completely shutting down engine cylinders, and a number of other methods, depending on the vehicle and how much technology is used to control the engine and transmission.

Midcorner throttle applications provoke the rear - biased 4Matic + system and electronically locking rear differential to initiate gentle, controllable drifts.

Like the others it takes the joy out of enthusiastic motoring under sustained open throttle applications.

Typical, lackadaisical throttle applications will result in smooth acceleration.

This hybrid drive approach was first used by Porsche in its 918 Spyder hypercar; the first - generation hybrid Panamera, on the other hand, required at least 80 percent throttle application before torque from the electric motor would be fed in.

Thus I made an interesting observation: If you drive the Impreza in a moderate fashion, with sensible throttle application and minimal overtaking, then a CVT becomes a lot less noticeable.

Like all BMWs, the throttle pedal is hinged at the bottom, making first attempts at heel - and - toe downshifts or full - throttle applications slightly cumbersome.
