Differential Gear

Every system offers it owns benefits and drawbacks, and although the more complicated systems are generally excellent they have an attached cost that far exceeds the easier systems.

The downside to the machine is it is very complicated and very expensive, and typically only used for racing/track applications because of its high speed cornering potential.

This allows for higher acceleration from the corner as the car’s turning abilitty is usually increased.

A Torque Vectoring Differential is with the capacity of channelling 100% of the available torque through a single wheel when needed in the the majority of extreme of circumstances.

With the TVD exerting more resistance onto the outside wheels clutch, it tricks the system into diverting more torque through it – increasing the total amount power which can be applied and reducing the understeer skilled under acceleration out of a corner.

By continuing to use this resistance through the corner, as the vehicle passes the apex and begins to accelerate out it’ll continue to override a normal multiway-LSD – which would again interpret the quicker moving outside wheel as slipping and divert torque during acceleration to the within wheel, which it perceives as having more grasp.

However, instead of releasing the resistance on both wheels a TVD continues to activate the clutch externally wheel just – increasing the resistance skilled by that wheel and making the system channel more torque through it. This imbalance of power to the outside encourages the vehicle to turn into the part sharper and reducing understeer.
