Sentences with phrase «wheels under acceleration»

To recieve the quattro designation reserved for Audi's all - wheel drive cars, the R18 e-tron recovers kinetic energy on the front axle under braking and is fed as electricity into a flywheel accumulator which is then put down to the front wheels under acceleration when the R18 e-tron is at speeds greater than 120 km / h.

Instead of using a mechanical limited slip differential, the brake system slows the inside front wheel under acceleration to mitigate wheelspin.

Not exact matches

The steering is nervous and strangely artificial off - center, not unlike what we've experienced in the Ford Focus ST.. Under hard acceleration, torque squirms through the steering wheel, despite the fact that this MKC is equipped with all - wheel drive.

Torque steer is the tendency for front wheel drive vehicles to pull to the side under acceleration.

A large convertible need not be sporty, but no one expects to fight with the steering wheel under moderate acceleration or feel the whole car squirm over road imperfections.

Transmitting 237bhp and 236 lb ft through the front wheels inevitably resulted in torque steer under hard acceleration, added to which was the VXR's fondness for following ruts in the road — both under acceleration and braking — a problem which, we discovered, got much worse as the front tyres wore down and the amount of «give» in the tread blocks reduced.

Pull the left - hand paddle - shifter and it gets even more aggressive; let the computer do it for you and the rev - matching system reads the brake pressure applied and the pace you've been driving to deliver downshifts ranging from mild to wild, but always exactly on point and executed in under 300 ms. Better, the power from the engine and the quick shifts from the transmission are maximized in their yield of acceleration by the new all - wheel drive system, which shares its philosophy with that of the excellent new M5.

«The wheel can pull a bit under hard acceleration, but, as Andy points out, that's more to do with its response to uneven terrain than pure torque steer.»

Power is still sent just through the front wheels, but torque steer remains absent even under full - throttle acceleration.

Whereas the T6 can send torque to the rear wheels via a Haldex center differential, the T8's gas engine powers the front wheels only, resulting in noticeable torque steer under hard acceleration.

When «4WD Auto» mode is selected, the Outlander's 4WD system always sends some power to the rear wheels, automatically increasing the amount under full throttle acceleration.

If the rear wheels threaten to spin under acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a more powerful engagement of the multi-plate clutch.

Unwanted imbalance of driving force between the front wheels of a front - wheel - drive vehicle that causes the car to pull to the left or right under heavy acceleration

At this point, there are a lot of powerful, front - wheel - drive cars on the market, and very few of them behave this wildly under acceleration.

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.

Under normal conditions 95 % of the power goes to the front wheels but on hard cornering or heavy acceleration the torque split is 50/50.

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.

Because the weight of a car is shifted toward the rear under acceleration in all cars as a rule, this further improves the amount of grip on the rear wheels, increasing the amount of torque that can be supplied to the rear wheels before wheelspin occurs.

Unlike the standard Aygo, it has no driver aids, power steering or anti lock brakes but its rear wheel drive layout helps traction under heavy acceleration.

The Focus ST gets something called Torque Steer Compensation, which works through the electric steering to counteract the wheel tug familiar in high - power front - drive cars under hard acceleration.

Instead of squealing wheels, I contented myself with the engine's revving blasts as I upshifted the 650S Spider under acceleration.

The Sport Edge also comes standard with all - wheel drive, which offers better grip and negates the worry of torque steer under hard acceleration.

Knurling inside the wheels helps keep the tires from slipping around the wheels under heavy acceleration or braking.

What's nice is that, since the 2015 update, the XUV500 puts the power down to the front wheels much better now, and despite the increase in power, this 2018 facelift doesn't pull hither and thither under hard acceleration in lower gears.

A modified chassis and increased negative wheel camber, plus a specially programmed electronic speed control and torque - sensing limited - slip differential, keep the car pointed straight under heavy acceleration.

The Nissan GT - R's rigid forged aluminum 20 - inch wheels, manufactured by RAYS ®, utilize knurling inside the wheels to help keep the tires from slipping around the wheels under heavy acceleration or braking.

However, powerful cars rarely use the FF layout because weight transference under acceleration reduces the weight on the front wheels and reduces their traction, limiting the torque which can be utilized.

Under acceleration from a standing stop, there's some torque steer — a problem with higher - powered front - wheel - drive cars, caused when the engine torque tries to steer the car one way or the other.

With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort of build up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]

The Bonneville remains front - wheel drive, and there's just so much horsepower you can feed a front - drive car until you are saddled with a bad case of torque steer, which is the tendency, under hard acceleration, for the car to try to steer itself left or right.

On a curve under hard acceleration, 70 % of effective torque can be directed to the rear — all of which can go to the outside wheel to improve cornering by directing power where weight has shifted.

The value, especially when compared with traditional rear wheel drive compact cars, could not be denied: acceleration was similar to the 318 - powered Gran Fury, and though they were a full two feet shorter on the outside, legroom was only about two inches less (combining front and rear), hip room was higher, and headroom was under an inch less; the trunk was nearly as large.

The driver sometimes has to struggle with the steering wheel under hard acceleration.

When the system detects slip, when cornering hard, or under heavy acceleration, the center diff can engage almost instantly, sending up to 50 percent of available torque to the rear wheels.

It's also expected AMG will attempt to live up to its hitherto rear - wheel drive heritage by tuning the all - wheel drive for a rear - drive bias under full acceleration.

Under hard acceleration, you will feel the front go light as the sophisticated AWD system determines which wheel has the most amount of traction.

The driver never has to fight with the steering wheel to maintain a straight course, even under maximum acceleration.

It also improves traction under acceleration by preventing the driving wheels from spinning on slippery surfaces.

Underneath, the S320 is outfitted with a four - wheel independent suspension system that prevents the car's body from «diving» when the brakes are applied and from «squatting» under hard acceleration.

The Elan is a front - wheel - drive sports car, but it doesn't torque steer - pull to the left or right - under hard acceleration.
