Differential Gear

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

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

Torque Vectoring Differential 940x310The yellow-colored arrow highlights the torque transfer occuring through the corner, generated by the artifical Differential Gear resistance becoming exerted by the TVD externally wheel. This allows for better acceleration out from the corner as the car’s turning abilitty is certainly increased.

A Torque Vectoring Differential is with the capacity of channelling 100% of the offered torque through an individual wheel when needed in the many extreme of circumstances.

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

By continuing to apply this resistance through the part, as the vehicle passes the apex and starts 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 grip.

However, rather than releasing the resistance upon both tires 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 capacity to the outside encourages the vehicle to turn in to the part sharper and reducing understeer.
