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

The downside to the system is it is very complicated and incredibly 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 part, generated by the artifical resistance getting exerted by the TVD externally wheel. This allows for better acceleration from the corner while the car’s turning abilitty is usually increased.

A Torque Vectoring Differential is with the capacity of channelling 100% of the available torque through an individual 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 amount power which can be applied and reducing the understeer experienced under acceleration out of a corner.

By continuing to apply this resistance through the part, 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 faster moving outside wheel as slipping and divert torque during acceleration to the inside wheel, which it perceives as having more grip.

However, instead of releasing the resistance on both wheels a TVD proceeds to activate the clutch on the outside wheel only – increasing the resistance experienced by that wheel and making the machine channel more torque through it. This imbalance of capacity to the outside encourages the automobile to turn in to the part sharper and reducing understeer.
