The 2016 Mercedes - AMG GT S comes with an electronically controlled limited - slip differential, wherein computers precisely control the amount of torque going to each rear wheel.

It shares the regular X6's Dynamic Performance Control rear differential, which can borrow up to about 1300 lb - ft of torque from one rear wheel and send it to the other.

While a single electric motor drives the front wheels, each rear - wheel has its own high - torque motor and the setup is coordinated by Mitsubishi's Active Yaw Control (AYC) system.

Standard Porsche Traction Management distributes torque between all four wheels, the Sport Chrono package enables the driver to control driving modes and engage the overboost function, and launch control maximizes acceleration off the line.

Available in both front - or all - wheel - drive and powered by a standard 3.6 - liter V - 6 rated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb - ft of torque, or high - performance Twin - Turbo 3.6 - liter V - 6 that delivers 410 horsepower and 369 lb - ft of torque, the XTS is also the only luxury sedan with standard Magnetic Ride Control for an incredibly smooth ride.

Air suspension is standard and the Turbo S E-Hybrid also gets ceramic composite brakes, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PVT Plus), 21 - inch alloy wheels from the 911 Turbo and a steering rear axle like the 918 Spyder's.

A snapshot of what's different about the BRZ: updated front end with LED headlights and fog lamps; LED taillights; new wheels; new fender accent, new aluminum rear spoiler, new steering wheel, updated gauge cluster with a color multi-function display, retuned suspension, reworked engine internals and accessories that add 5 horsepower and 5 lb - ft of torque to the 2.0 - liter flat - four, a new final - drive ratio for manual models (4.3:1 vs. 4.1:1 for 2016), a stiffer body, and less aggressive stability control that includes a new Track mode.

With an electric motor for each wheel, the HK GT can deploy dynamic torque vectoring, with each unit getting its own control unit.

A limited - slip center differential directs torque between axles, and traction control sends power to the wheel that can best use 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.

Among the goodies Porsche still charges extra for are the paddleshift steering wheel, the highly desirable dual - clutch transmission, carbon - ceramic brakes, cruise control, a sunroof, electronic torque vectoring in conjunction with a passive limited - slip differential, and the indispensable Sport Chrono package, which includes active engine mounts and an overboost function.

The differentials can be controlled electrically, mechanically, or hydraulically and can send torque to whichever wheel will make the most of it.

The all - wheel drive system is controlled by a set of electro - hydraulic clutches that vary torque between both axles according to both the conditions and driver mode selected.

«BMW and Acura are [sending more torque to] the outer wheel through a mechanical device,» explains chassis engineer Wallgren, «whereas ours is a brake system [via the stability control electronics].»

The all - wheel - drive system uses electronically controlled clutches in the rear differential to send up to 50 percent of the torque to the rear wheels.

Valves independently control the hydraulic torque pressure to the rear and to each rear wheel, Fritz explained.

A run down the 2016 Ford Focus RS's spec sheet reveals a car that our enthusiast judges should love: a punchy, turbocharged four - cylinder engine that makes 350 horsepower and 350 lb - ft of torque; performance - tuned all - wheel - drive handling; a six - speed, honest - to - goodness manual gearbox; and a button that puts the car's stability control into Drift mode.

Two planetary gear sets operated by two computer - controlled clutches help steer the vehicle by increasing the amount of torque delivered to one rear wheel.

As in the refreshed MKZ, the new engine makes 400 hp and 400 lb - ft of torque, paired with standard all - wheel drive and advanced torque - vectoring control.

And to help transfer that power through its front wheels, there's Torque Transfer Control (TTC), an electronic diff - aping system that allows earlier deployment of the throttle when exiting corners.

And there's the E-diff, whose calibrations this alters, a clever, clutch - controlled active differential that sorts out waywardness not by inhibiting one rear wheel but by pouring more torque into the other.

The engine drives through a six - speed manual gearbox and a new and much trumpeted Ford Performance all - wheel - drive system with dynamic torque vectoring control.

The limited - slip differential is an electronically controlled, torque - vectoring item and there's also rear - wheel steering and dynamic engine mounts as standard.

Standard Roll Stability Control will limit engine torque and strategically apply the brakes to certain wheels if it determines the risk of rollover is significant.

Although stability control will step in eventually and adjust the trajectory, it's the mechanical rear differential that performs magic by feeding exactly the right amount of torque to each of the rear wheels at exactly the right time.
