959
Nextpermanently locked multi-plate hydraulic clutch in the center. Unlocked only if turning at low speed, for example while parking. Torque distribution in this vehicle is adjusted even before wheelspin occurs. Gathering information from numerous sensors (i.e. g force sensor, accelerator pedal position, speed, and even turbo pressure) while accelerating, computer changes normal 40front/60back torque split, sending up yo 80% to the rear wheels, even if all four wheels are rotating with the same speed.

Are these Torsen systems or Haldex ?

The new generation Porsche Cayenne lost its center differential. In its place is a clutch pack to power the front differential, which is the same as the Porsche Panamera.
I wonder how asymmetric the torque split of the planetary center differential would had to have been, to avoid offending Porsche loyalists?

It seems 31/69 was not enough, maybe 20/80 would have kept the oversteer on demand, reduced understeer at the limit, and kept the 'pure' steering feel of rear drive.
The Bugatti EB110, if I recall correctly, was 27/73, and wasn't as rear heavy as a 911.
