Abarth specific items include front -
wheel torque transfer control, high - inflow intake system, sports suspension and upgraded brakes.
Rear
wheel torque transfer is increased by 50 percent over the amounts in 4WD Auto mode — meaning up to 60 percent of available torque is sent to the rear wheels under full - throttle acceleration on dry pavement.

The all -
wheel drive takeoff is from a clutch pack in a
transfer case at the back of the gearbox and although the car is rear - drive in most circumstances, in default all -
wheel drive mode,
torque can be sent to the front pre-emptively when the car thinks the extra traction will help, or in response to rear slip.
Its massive power and
torque are
transferred to the rear
wheels via a seven - speed PDK dual - clutch gearbox.
Mated to Ford's all - new 10 - speed transmission, the updated setup has auto start / stop and is coupled to a new dual - mode
transfer case that engages either all -
wheel - drive or four -
wheel drive through a clutch - based,
torque - on - demand system to the front and rear
wheels.
The automaker touts its new Ford Performance All -

torque from side to side for better grip, handling and agility during aggressive cornering.
I believe in a motorized
wheeled vehicle, its not nearly as significant, especially since the rotational
torques are being
transferred to the ground at around ground level with mostly tangential forces.
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

Transfer Control (TTC), an electronic diff - aping system that allows earlier deployment of the throttle when exiting corners.
The clutches are good for about 1500 lb - ft, but the system rarely
transfers more than 1100 lb - ft to the front
wheels — about a quarter of peak
torque in second gear.
The
torque transfer from the inside to the outside
wheel is noticeable, but the effect is rather odd and, it has to be said, perhaps even unnecessary.
The all -
wheel - drive system also features Honda's
torque - vectoring capability, with clutch packs on either side of the rear differential that can open and close to
transfer torque across the rear axle.
All British S63s will be rear - drive, but in left - hand drive markets Mercedes is now offering the option of a 4 - Matic four -
wheel drive version, which uses a
transfer box at the back of the gearbox to split
torque between axles.
So selecting this mode immediately changes the
torque to the driven
wheels,
transferring some away from the front
wheels and to the back
wheels.
Rear -
wheel drive is standard, while part - time four -
wheel drive and a more sophisticated full - time four -
wheel - drive
torque -
transfer system are options.
The
torque - vectoring diff uses electronically actuated clutches to vary
torque transfer to the
wheels.
While the Haldex all -
wheel - drive system balances the weight distribution and provides low - loss
transfer for the power and
torque, the springs and dampers unite in a convincing display of iron - fisted control, masking the Golf's bulk with resolute grip and surprising agility.
This model boasts a performance suspension, 16 - inch black aluminum
wheels, Pirelli tires with red brake calipers, dual - exhaust system, and three - mode electronic stability control with
torque transfer control system to maximize throttle performance while cornering.
The unique Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) technology continually reads the conditions and ensures the right amount of
torque is
transferred to the
wheels depending on the terrain.
Available
torque vectoring works by braking the inside
wheel (s) in corners, proactively
transferring torque to the outside
wheels — which helps turn the car and improve handling performance.
Because the system can
transfer torque quickly away from the front
wheels, it helps reduce the type of understeer often associated with front -
wheel - drive vehicles to provide improved vehicle control
All Beetles with 160PS or more get VW's electronic differential lock — known as XDS — as standard, helping increase traction and better
transfer the power and
torque through the front
wheels.
The coupling
transfers up to forty percent of available
torque to the rear
wheels under full - throttle acceleration, and this is reduced to twenty five percent over 40 miles per hour.
The AYC
transfers drive
torque between the left and right drive
wheels as required.
This was achieved by utilising a
torque transfer rear differential which is controlled by various sensors and an electronic control unit (ECU) to enable a difference in
torque to go to each of the rear
wheels.
With the Q4 All -
Wheel - Drive system, the Giulia
transfers up to 60 % of its engine's

transfers torque between the front and rear
wheels.
Compared to the previous system it now uses a planetary gear differential that can
transfer almost twice the
torque between the rear
wheels.
In Lock mode, the system still apportions front and rear
torque automatically, but enables greater power
transfer to the rear
wheels.
To continuously vary its gear ratios, the CVT simultaneously adjusts the diameter of the «drive pulley» that transmits
torque from the engine and the «driven pulley» that
transfers torque to the
wheels.

The RDX's all -
wheel - drive system has also been tweaked to deliver more
torque transfer to the rear than the current system.
Your rear -
wheel drive vehicle uses a rotating driveshaft to
transfer torque (rotational force) from...
Whereas the previous R.S. Megane used a mechanical LSD by GKN, the new one is by Torsen and can
transfer as much as 45 % of total
torque to the
wheel that needs it most.
The AWD system runs primarily in front -
wheel under most conditions, but can
transfer up to 70 per cent of
torque to the rear
wheels and from there, distribute it between the left or right
wheel.
An electronically managed continuously variable
transfer clutch actively controls
torque distribution in response to driving conditions and
wheel slippage.
The AWD operates via a rear drive module / secondary axle
torque transfer device using electro - magnetic actuated primary and secondary clutches, while the system grabs outside slipping
wheels for side - to - side
torque distribution.
The engine generates a 555 horsepower with a peak
torque of 502 lbs ft.. All this power is
transferred via the xDrive - all -
wheel - drive system.
In our test car, it's the Variable
Torque Distribution kind, which uses a continuously variable electronically controlled
transfer clutch to sluice power fore and aft as
wheel slip dictates.
That minority of drivers investing in the Performance Package for off - track use should also consider upgrading to the AWD model, which provides a 50/50 front - to - rear power split and adds a viscous, limited - slip, center - differential
transfer torque to those
wheels with the most grip when driving in off - road situations.
