Hey guys,
As per the topic above, does anybody know how the AWD on the GT4 works? The reason why i am asking is that i always thought it was 50:50. The car does not spin on tarmac no matter what you do to it. But on gravel or when the road is wet, the car can spin unbelievably and it seems that most of the power is on rear wheels as the tail of the car travels on either side depending on the direction of the front wheels. The car never gets out of control though  (like when you overspin a rear drive car)Any further info on this would be helpful Thanks This post has been edited by neoklis: Mar 16, 2004 - 5:35 AM |

Hi
 Your car has an epicyclical centre differential with 50-50 % F/R distribution. It also has a torsen rear differential and central viscous coupling, which could explain why it feels different on gravel compared to tarmac. Check out this site for more info. --------------------  |
