What is Torque-Vectoring All Wheel Drive?

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 Active Sport Differential
  • 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?)
