Every system offers it owns Differential Gear benefits and disadvantages, and although the more complicated systems are generally excellent they have an attached cost that far exceeds the simpler 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 yellowish arrow highlights the torque transfer occuring through the part, produced by the artifical resistance becoming exerted by the TVD on the outside wheel. This enables for higher acceleration from the corner while the car’s turning abilitty can be increased.
A Torque Vectoring Differential is with the capacity of channelling 100% of the offered torque through a single wheel when needed in the the majority of extreme of circumstances.
With the TVD exerting more resistance onto the exterior wheels clutch, it tricks the machine into diverting more torque through it – increasing the total amount power which can be applied and reducing the understeer experienced under acceleration out of a corner.
By continuing to use this resistance through the corner, as the vehicle passes the apex and starts to accelerate out it will 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 hold.
However, rather than releasing the resistance upon both wheels a TVD continues to activate the clutch externally wheel just – increasing the resistance experienced simply by that wheel and making the machine channel more torque through it. This imbalance of capacity to the outside encourages the automobile to turn into the part sharper and reducing understeer.
