The DPC in the X5/6M is in fact a mechanical LSD. Read here: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/insights/t...e_control.html |

I always had a feeling that Audi doesn't invest in research and engineering of its car as much as BMW. Everything in a BMW feels well thought out. But in the Audi just a put together as long as it sells to people with less expectations and there are many.
B.S! And the new optional "Audi quattro Sport Differential" is just a copy of the system in the X6, not the opposite. |

Did you think that like a PS3 games the car is a software? Of course it has mechatronics. It actually has a clutch in the rear differential. Has nothing to do with Audi system.

By the way although other companies like Mitsubishi & Acura in SH-AWD were using this idea before it was never as effective as DPC in BMW. |

To be honest, YouTube videos are absolutely useless as a source of proof or any valid demonstration, regardless of what you're trying to prove or demonstrate In the first link, the driver of Q5 could be easily just holding the brake pedal and not even trying to push on gas pedal to get up that hill. In the second, the Range Rover could've been equipped with bald or high performance summer tires and X6 probably had tires with better traction. You can never know what really happened just by looking at someone's personal videos
Here's a nice example of that, what happens when X6 has the high performance summer tires: Last edited by AlexK; 10-26-2010 at 05:16 PM.. |

In all seriousness though, over steer is more easily corrected compared to under steer, but after all, it all depends on the driver. Quote:

ZF is the manufacturer of this differential not BMW and sooner or later more brands will integrate it in their systems as Audi did. Ofcourse I didn't mean Audi copied it out of BMW ? The idea behind this concept is not new and was patented in 1930s and 70s. Even fwd Honda Prelude used it in 1997. By the way Audi R8 is based on Gallardo, Porsche Cayenne shares chassis with VW Touareg and Audi Q7 ,Veyron's engine is based on VW VR6 engine. Cars do share components or ideas.

You're right. During training they'll reluctantly clarify the X's can do 100% of AVAILABLE torque to the front axle. I can't remember what that percentage works out to, but that was the key word.

Wow what a bunch of misguided fan boys!
I'd take an X-Drive car on the track over any Audi, any day. And if anybody thinks Acura system is better, you'd be so wrong. The Acura system is good, but not that good, and it is front biased, just like most Audi's are! |

Some of the usual suspects (from two non-constructive camps) hijacked the thread.

"While SH-AWD only works on the rear axle of a normally front-drive vehicle, new systems from automotive suppliers Ricardo in Britain and ZF in Germany can vector torque to all four tires simultaneously." Take a look at:http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/4225886 Still AWD capabilities are a result of whole dynamics of the car not just one system. You wouldn't want to compare Acura with BMW in that sense.(X6 vs MDX). I ride X6 in Canadian winters and I can tell you xDrive in X6 is just amazing. |
