What do you know about Torque Vectoring Control system from Ford?
- G-forces naturally transfer more traction to your outside wheels than your inside ones in a corner.
- Take a corner too fast and understeering may occur, especially in front-wheel-drives, causing your vehicle to slide to the outside edge of the turn, rather than going in the direction you want to go.
- Using the braking system to imitate the effect of a torque vectoring differential, Torque Vectoring Control steps in before wheel spin occurs.
- Light brake force is applied to the front inside wheel as soon as it begins to lose grip, sending more engine torque to the outside wheel that has more grip.
- This increases traction in the direction you want to travel and improves the steering ability of the inside tyre.
- The front end hugs every corner for improved traction and handling when accelerating through corners.
