what is torque-vectoring all wheel drive? Top Torque-Vectoring all wheel drive system monitors vehicle speed, wheel speed, gear position, steering angle, yaw rate, lateral G forces and other inputs, and automatically adds torque to the outside rear wheel in corners to make the car turn quicker. Examples of Torque-Vectoring all wheel drive systems: Honda's Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive (SH-AWD) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo's Active Yaw Control system Audi's quattro evolutions Ricardo Cross-Axle Torque-Vectoring system - works on both front and rear wheels (new Audi A4 and A5??? not confirmed) German transmission and driveline company ZF's Vector Drive system (used anywhere?)

My 2015.5 Volvo XC60 has torque vectoring (called CTC by Volvo), and despite being a high profile SUV, it is very "tied down" when doing hard high speed cornering.

Torque Vectoring

1) German transmission and driveline company ZF's Vector Drive system is used in BMW X6 and 7 series, as an option, I belive. Here is link to a graphics. dl.dropbox.com It,s very similar to Audi's Sport Differential by the way, only actuating device is different (BMW - electric, Audi - hydraulic)

2) New example of relativly simple Torque Vectoring is Nissan little Juke in 4x4 form. Note - rear axle without differential! Graphics - dl.dropbox.com
