Volvo
850 AWD - Automatic all wheel drive, torque transfer to rear axle via viscous coupling when front wheels slip, electronic traction control on front wheels,
limited slip rear differential.
Figure: Volvo 850 viscous coupling and disconnect unit (what is a disconnect unit?)
V70 AWD (1997-2002), V70 Cross Country (2000-2002), XC70 (2002) - Automatic all wheel drive, torque transfer to rear axle via viscous coupling when front wheels slip, electronic traction control on front wheels (TRACS - Volvo's brand of traction control). TRACS
system works on speeds up to 40kph(25mph).
You forgot the Mazda 323 1.6 GT Turbo 4WD! (and/or 1.8 GTX)
We are again on a full-time AWD System with planetary gear center differential to split engine torque, electrically lockable via a button on the console that would have activated a Viscous Coupling unit.
Before 1990:
- Normal torque split 50/50
- 185/60R14 performance tires on 5.5J-14 alloy wheels
From 1990:
- Normal torque split of 43/57 (for a rear-wheel-drive feel) could be varied to 60/40
-195 / 60R-14 performance tires
