There are three levels of Vehicle Dynamics Control: The default is full traction and stability control, Traction mode (TRAC) disables traction and stability control but leaves the
Active Torque Vectoring system active, and Off disables even the torque vectoring.
An optimised rear - axle differential and
Dynamic Torque Vectoring system also enhance the overall direction change of the car — and should help to put some of the Chiron's prodigious amounts of twist onto the tarmac.
A
new torque vectoring system based on the one used in the Continental GT3 - R also lends a hand to attaining these figures, together with an eight - speed ZF automatic transmission.
The 5.2 - liter, naturally aspirated gas engine would drive the Asterion's rear wheels via a seven - speed dual - clutch automatic transmission while a pair of electric motors hooked up to a computer - operated
torque vectoring system on the front axle would power the hybrid car's front wheels.
Selecting Sport Plus entirely turns - up the intensity; suspension, steering, 8 - speed automatic transmission and
Torque Vectoring system work in unison to truly awaken the sports car within.
Amongst these technologies, Alfa has equipped the Giulia with a double - clutch
torque vectoring system which works in tandem with the rear differential to control the torque split independently to each of the rear wheels.
A mechanical
torque vectoring system uses two clutches at the rear axle to overdrive the outside wheel, with additional brake vectoring at all four wheels.
Grip levels were surprisingly decent on snow - covered ice, although steering feel was still noticeable by its absence (we'll wait until we get one on tarmac to report on that)- and the A1 has been set up with a pleasingly neutral handling balance, torque being shunted to the rear axle when understeer is detected, with a version of Audi's
torque vectoring system also helping out.
But if you really want to exploit this excellent balance, you'll need the optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring system and its mechanical limited - slip differential.
The
optional torque vectoring system help put power to the ground even more effectively, with the ability to doll out power to individual wheels during high - performance driving.
In its place, you get a sort of
electronic torque vectoring system that performs like a limited slip differential by adding brake force to the slipping wheel (or the inside wheel when cornering) to send power to the other end of the axle's open differential.
Other similarities include an
enhanced Torque Vectoring system, 3 - mode Electronic Stability Control, an adapted rear twist - beam with better roll - stiffness, unique front and rear damper settings, a center of gravity 15 mm lower than in the plain Ford Fiesta, a sharper steering ratio with a shortened steering arm, and powerful disc brakes at all four corners.
It has a seven - speed dual clutch automatic gearbox and all - wheel drive, with traction enhanced by an electronically
controlled torque vectoring system for the rear wheels.
Most modern high performance cars feature some sort
of torque vectoring system, but none are as technologically advanced as the Concept One's Rimac All - Wheel Torque Vectoring.
A recalibrated active rear locking differential is in place for increased agility, while the brake -
actuated torque vectoring system is modified to mitigate understeer and improve grip.
That said, this isn't the only all - wheel - drive system; there is also an AWD - I system available on hybrid models and a regular, non-Dynamic
Torque Vectoring system available on standard - issue models.
Its brake -
operated torque vectoring system allows for precise turns with help from high - performance Brembo brakes featuring 13.8 - inch quad - piston front calipers and 13.4 - inch dual - piston rear calipers.
The technology wasn't primarily designed for snow however; instead the independent four -
wheel torque vectoring system was designed to help maximise traction off the line as well as at speed.
Alfa touts technical innovations such as a double -
clutch Torque Vectoring system that allows the rear differential to control the torque delivery to each wheel independently, improving traction in low grip conditions without having to run up against an invasive stability control system.
On the track, it was easy enough to discover and take the Jaguar F - Type R to its limits and hold it there, with the car's
excellent torque vectoring system eliminating understeer in most of the corners.
This is aided further by the
clever torque vectoring system, ensuring you remain safe around corners, while the dedicated Drift Mode is a way to get sideways without risking a spin.
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 Civic hatch lineup features what Honda calls its Agile Handling Assist, a brake - based
torque vectoring system designed to aid turn in and overall control.
The base model will remain FWD but AWD variants will feature the latest
quattro torque vectoring systems, which distribute drive individually between each axle and between the rear wheels for improved traction and stability.
Turn - in is sharp, and the ST locks on to a cornering line, but it's so balanced that quick direction changes are incredibly stable, aided by a
neat torque vectoring system that subtly brakes individual front wheels to eliminate understeer.
But
more torque vectoring systems are on all - wheel - drive systems, a combination of electronic and mechanical systems, such as Audi's Quattro system, Acura's Super-Handling All - Wheel - Drive, or BMW's Dynamic Performance Control.
The Civic also benefits from a very
effective torque vectoring system, which helps keep you locked on your chosen line — although the feeling of grip it creates is a little artificial, as you're constantly aware of the system working away in the background.

Symmetrical all - wheel drive comes standard, naturally, and an Active
Torque Vectoring system gives the Legacy even more grip in less - than - ideal conditions.
His speed in the 1224 horsepower Concept One was gradually rising after each of his four previous runs throughout the day, and in that final corner, Mate Rimac believes Hammond pushed the car's
torque vectoring system into oversteering by trying to turn in at an overly ambitious pace.
