What is Torque Vectoring? The Technology That Revolutionizes Cornering
Torque vectoring is an advanced automotive technology that enhances a vehicle's stability and agility by precisely controlling the power delivered to each wheel. Unlike traditional all-wheel-drive systems that simply send power front-to-rear, torque vectoring can vary the amount of power sent to individual wheels, especially the left and right wheels on the same axle.
Think of it as the electronic brain of the car actively helping you corner. In a turn, it can apply more power to the outside wheels, which have more traction, effectively "pushing" the car around the bend. Simultaneously, it can apply braking force to the inside wheel to further encourage rotation. The result is a sharper, more responsive turn with less understeer (the feeling of the car wanting to go straight) and a greater sense of control.
