As with the IS - F, the V8 drives through an 8 - speed automatic box and a torsen limited - slip differential or that torque - vectoring unit that works by actively pushing power to the wheel with the most grip, not simply braking an inside wheel as most other systems do.
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.
An optional sport rear differential can apportion torque between the rear wheels to help turn the car, reducing understeer.
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.
Also new is the electronic differential, which can divert torque to the outside rear wheel if the tail begins to slide instead of relying on the electronic stability system to brake the inside rear wheel.
A torque - biasing differential puts the most force on the wheel with the most grip, but viscous or plate type diffs work very well too.
This more straightforward, analogue approach has been taken with the limited slip differential, which is a wholly mechanical Torsen type (the old car had a simpler GKN item), which can send up to 45 percent of the engine's torque to a slipping wheel.
Its chassis is aided by rear wheel steering, torque vectoring rear differential and an electrically assisted anti-roll bar.
The rear differential manages the torque between the rear wheels to maintain the angle of the slide, all the driver has to do is keep their foot pinned and point the front wheels where they want to go.
A limited - slip differential is integrated into the transmission, and the front motors can either power the car independently or send extra power to the outside wheel when cornering for torque - vectoring capability.
In either powertrain, torque steer is conspicuous by its absence, banished with the help of Volkwagen's XDS differential, which brakes an individual slipping front wheel to mimic a limited - slip differential, and which is standard on the Golf (again, in Europe).
A limited - slip center differential directs torque between axles, and traction control sends power to the wheel that can best use it.
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 Enclave offers two all - wheel - drive systems, a simpler system that is optional ($ 2,000) for the Essence trim and a more sophisticated system for the Premium and Avenir models ($ 2,300) that adds a twin - clutch rear differential to shift torque between the left and right rear wheels in addition to between the front and rear — up to 40 percent to the rear in most situations — for both better traction and handling.
The system now features a lighter twin - clutch rear differential to help distribute torque between the front and rear wheels, as well as from right and left wheels.
(Volkswagen's 4Motion all - wheel drive normally operates in front - wheel - drive mode until the system detects slip, at which point the differential can send 100 percent of available engine torque to the rear axle.)
In practise this means not only the extra-strong tune of V8, but rear - wheel steering, active anti-roll bars, torque vectoring on the rear differential to go with a centre Torsen diff (unlike the hang - on centre clutch of the Cayenne, for example) and ceramic brakes.
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 uses electronically controlled clutches in the rear differential to send up to 50 percent of the torque to the rear wheels.
Featuring a «Twinster» rear differential it can shuffle 70 percent of the engine's torque to the rear axle and then 100 percent of that to an individual rear wheel, which is what allows the Focus to perform in it's wild «drift» mode.
The reason for all that snap is hidden under the skin: the differentials, the active torque vectoring, and the symmetrical all - wheel - drive that normally operates with a 9 percent bias to the rear wheels.
The Urus» all - wheel drive system utilizes a Torsen center differential, enabling a wide front - to - rear torque split range, and a mechanical rear diff lock for a subtle left - right distribution.
There is no differential; instead, each front wheel is connected to its own carbon - fiber clutch - pack inside the PTU — and they can be engaged individually to perform a torque - vectoring function.

And sure enough, this 5,185 - pound sport / utility vehicle — sorry, sports activity coupe, per BMW marketing — slows just enough for us to screech around a hairpin, where we promptly nail the throttle and let the all - wheel - drive system and torque - vectoring rear differential figure out what to do with 553 lb - ft of torque.
Our test car came with the sports differential (a # 620 option) which improves cornering response by vectoring torque to the outside rear wheel, and which can be felt helping to push the A5 around sharper turns.
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 clutch plates in the four - wheel drive system now have a higher friction coefficient, which ensures even faster and more precise torque distribution to the front axle, while the rear axle still features a torque vectoring differential.
The limited - slip differential is an electronically controlled, torque - vectoring item and there's also rear - wheel steering and dynamic engine mounts as standard.
