Thank you for accurately representing this. The SAE in general agrees that a system is not "Torque Vectoring" unless it can predictably send torque to one wheel, this is only accomplished through over-speeding. That is why the companies that you pointed out and others will not use the term Torque Vectoring for their brake based systems. They reserve it for systems that are able to send torque to one specific wheel on demand like the Focus RS, the Evo X or the Honda SH-AWD system.

They should totally do a video on the Focus RS system because it's really clever, but it can't actually send 100% of the torque to one specific wheel. Best it can do is a 70/30 split to the rear, with vectoring of that amount side to side.

Second, if you'd bother to learn why metric caught on in Europe, i.e to replace a morass of countless competing standards, you'd understand why it wasn't adopted by a continent that already had a single standard of measurements.
Really wish you guys touched on SH-AWD! The RL in 2005 had a proper mechanical torque vectoring rear diff, and an 'acceleration device' at the rear axle, overdriving the rear wheels by some ~2%-5%. It could do 20/80 or 80/20 split, AND send 100% of the power at the rear axle to one wheel. It's a super sophisticated system, and was/is used in everything from the RL to TL, to even having the torque vectoring diff in the MDX and RDX!

That open-diff brake-based thing kinda reminds me of the antique tractor I sometimes use for scraping snow off the driveway and mowing fields and stuff. It has 2 brake pedals, one for the left, one for the right, and if it's in a slick spot and having trouble going around a sharp turn, I step on the inside brake and it pulls it right around (although, obviously not automatic)
That's not just on antique tractors. I had a 2006 John Deere that I used all around my small farm. When I mowed hay I would uncouple the brake pedals so I could brake on the inside of the turn. This would allow me to make a u-turn at the end of the row around the point of the inside wheel. This set me back on a path parallel to the previous row. At other times if one wheel started to spin on soft ground there was a lever I could push with the heal of my left foot to lock the rear diff and it would get traction and pull through. Lots of times operating my tractor took both hands and feet to make it all happen.

So many honduh fanbois... "super handling" awd is nothing special. Honda keeps trying to make Acura into something it's not, and they keep failing. You'd think they would have learned a lesson or two from GM by now - you can't polish a turd. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't turn the pig into Marilyn Monroe. Putting brighter headlights and an interior made of different plastics into a Honda doesn't change it into something else. Acura will always be second tier to actual European makes. They just can't shed that basic, cheap Asian feel at their core.
Agreed, it was even introduced ALL the way back in 2005 on the Acura RL (I owned one for 7 years). It's NOT a brake based torque-vectoring like others that Jerry mentioned!
@@VorsprungDurchNik Did a guy who drives a Honda fuck your girlfriend - or do you have anything to contribute to the conversation that actually speaks to the engineering of the all wheel drive systems? Here's something that might help (see the description for a condensed version on how it's a unique system and different from their AWD) ua-cam.com/video/Yz9ol5zy5nk/v-deo.html
Acura/Honda did electronically controlled electromagnetic clutch packs for active torque vectoring in the SH-AWD system on the 2005 Honda Legend/Acura RL! Standard!
About a decade earlier they had ATTS on the fifth generation Prelude Used clutch packs to feed more power to the outside wheel when cornering This was 97 that it was first introduced so the Prelude really lived up to its name with this bit of tech
I really like your content, specially when you approach engineering and the specs of racing categories. Please keep up the good work. I know that your audience is mainly US based, but I strongly suggest that you place both imperial and metric measurements. Nm is a standard unit and one that makes the whole pound-foot question more obvious for those who are somewhat familiar with kinematics from high schoool. If think it is also helpful to establish that an open differential has some advantages besides the cost. Again, good job.
At 6:50-ish there you had the tires mixed up. The outside won't spin as it has the grip thanks to the higher load thanks to weight transfer while turning. It's the unloaded inside tire that spins.
I am a little confuse about the joke Jeremiah makes about torque @7:00. Isn't it the inside wheel that gets all the torque wasted because it broke traction? It should be the inside wheel saying: "it's my torque ablalblalabllalba" while wasting it.

Watching this reminded me of my 1st Gen Acura RDX. The SH-AWD system made that little CUV handle in ways it didn't had a right to for its category. Absolutely loved it once I realized that to get the most of it, using the throttle through the turn was key. I still miss it. They changed their character once SH-AWD was no longer offered.

@@Kana0211 mine was fantastic for the 3 years that I had it. Had to sell it because I moved to a different state but the guy who bought it never reported any mechanical issues.
Torque equals the cross product of the distance vector and force vector. In cross-products, unlike dot-products, the order matters. The unit should be FtLb, not the other way around. Dot product: A • B = B • A Cross product: A x B ≠ B x A Although the SI unit for torque is Newton-meters (Nm), it should be meters-Newton (mN).
I would love an episode about how electric vehicles do torque vectoring, especially for off-road oriented trucks. How does torque vectoring work in EVs with 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 motors?
it just depends on where you live, this youtube channel is in the US so they're gonna discuss US cars and US units mainly, they may be "wrong" in the global scope but if you're an american and somebody tells you something in newton-meters they'll ask you why you're talking about fruit bars instead of car parts
@@goldensunrayspone The US was the first country that started with implementing the part of the metric system in 1792 with decimal currency, _the dollar cent,_ although the quarter still exists. That was even before France, first country, implemented the metric system in 1795.
Why was Honda not mentioned? They were the first to implement an Active Torque Transfer System (aka: ATTS, on the Prelude, in 1997) that used clutches to direct power, instead of brakes (to waste power!)

Man said "I ain't talking about differential in calculus either" then did an entire mini segment on the literal differential equation factor of force used to produce rotational speed in an open diff. 😂 I love it man
Acura had torque vectoring well before Lexus. In 2004, the '05 Acura RL introduced torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. As far as the Lexus system, nearly every Lexus since 2006 (and even many Toyotas) have vehicle-dynamics integrated management, which is essentially brake vectoring on steroids, capable of making millisecond-by-millisecond braking, throttle, and even power steering adjustments to prevent under or oversteer, often before it is even noticed by the driver.
Dont forget about the rear diff in a Nissan juke, its got lotsa clutches just like the sh system honda made. I personally drive an 09 rdx which is a very under rated car.
@@christoforospaphitis4090 the Evo had clutches in the rear axle, but it couldn't overdrive the rear axle like SH-AWD. Only the Evo 10th-generation had true torque vectoring.
As far as I understand, torque vectoring is where torque is actually transferred using clutch packs or a mechanical system. Like in EVOs. While using brakes is now called torque vectoring, it is kind works in the opposite manor and is completly a reactive system unlike an evo
4:12 the common unit of torque is not the pound-foot, it's the newton meter. Even the pound-foot itself is based on the metric system nowadays, just like the rest of the imperial system. So calling it the common measurement like the USA aren't the only ones using it, is just wrong.
@@Kana0211 just because the US is using it doesn't mean it's common. It's specific to the US. It's like americans going to other countries and yelling at them to speak english.

VW released in 2013 on the Golf mk7 GTI Performance Pack the VAQ differential, that works with XDS. Basically that's the FWD version of what Lexus introduced later on the RCF. The VAQ has clutches to send more torque to the wheel with more grip and XDS is a brake based torque vectoring system, already available since 2009.

My TLX Type S’s SH-AWD is by far the best AWD I’ve ever driven. I’d love to see a comparison to Audis’s Quattro AWD system. That’d be an interesting to see since I couldn’t find any other channel that had them both, or any systems amongst manufactures for that matter.
Dude. Very, very good explanation. I could not have said it better myself but here’s my request: FWD cars that fight their own urge to understeer… so weight transfer is as important as “from the wheels that slip, to the wheels that grip” -Subaru advertising. Now, a front wheel drive car can avoid understeer in a few different ways. The Honda or Acura Integra… the Pontiac Grand Prix GT specifically because the GTP was supercharged and unfair to the crowd…. Now what about the Cavalier SS? Who made the best FWD rocket… Mazda 3 is a hatch so I can’t include that. Think about those legendary FWD cars we love to hate and hate to love… did they use stability management?? I’ll say the, “Wider is better” slogan from Pontiac was true to a point. I turned that car inside out around the turns. Carved those wedges and I hated that it was FWD. VERY effective platform. I turned off the stability control and smoked those tires. Turn it back on and smoked those Mustangs that I love so much. Hahah
Honda’s SH-AWD system, with its over-driven rear diff, and clutch system, is nothing short of witchcraft when you really hurl it into corners. The humble Acura RL, with its loafy ride, stately interior, and mediocre steering feel comes ALIVE when pushed hard. The outside rear tire SHOVES the car around the corner, it feels organic and alive. It’s some seriously brilliant engineering.
The gyroscope joke gave me a good laugh. We have a local gyro restaurant and people are always pronouncing "gyro" (the meat) like "gyro" in "gyroscope" and it makes my eye twitch just a little everytime 😂

Great video. Only thing is, I'm not so sure how much maintenence a LSD needs. I own a 30 year old Fox Mustang with 130k miles. A lot of those have been pretty hard miles. I have changed the dif fluid to synthetic around 50k miles, but that's it. The LSD still works awesome. Lays two long patches anywhere of any length at any time.
I live in a rural section of Ontario Canada. I drive a 16 y.o. open diff Crown Vic - which is surprising because I thought limited was standard on all P-71 spec cars. Covid times have been tough so I'm still running decade old summer rubber down to the wear bars, 5 months a year, 16 Km at the end of an ice road, with one particular part that I call 'Nemisis Hill' - a 90 degree turn at the bottom of a quarter mile 12 percent grade. There are some hairy mornings, and I've come down backwards twice in five years .. but I still trust my go foot, the ghost of ol' Hank, and 45 winters driving junk over whatever computer crap they're trying to shove down my throat.
The Lexus TVD in the RC-F is a bit more than where you left it with just electronic control of the clutch packs. What really makes the Lexus version different is that the clutch packs engage a planetary gear set that OVERDRIVES the outside wheel by 1.5 to 3 percent more than the differential output. You can actually feel the yaw moment when it is helping to drive the rear outside wheel faster to push it around the corner. Fun fact, it is also 80lbs heavier than just their standard Torsen rear diff.
Remember that Subaru commercial on NPR ... "with torque vectoring that sends power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip" or something like that. Maybe that's why so many Subaru owners listen to NPR?
Back in the day, we had a system of braking, steering and throttle application that makes all of these new systems completely obsolete. It's called skill.
this may be the only instructional/informational video i've ever watched that I was sad it was ending...i didn't want it to be over....The Binge Begins..
Thank you so much for this explanation! I retained none of the information provided and will act like a certified mechanical engineer in every situation possible
What i find stange with american and uk, i learnt the shaft going from the gearbox to the diff is a prop shaft (propeller shaft) and the shafts connecting the diff to the wheel hubs are driveshafts
I didn't really understand how well brake torque vectoring works till I got my C6 Vette. Makes you feel like a freaking racecar driver. Could literally throw the car was faster into a turn than you think you can and all you feel is GRIP!
Beautiful car. My dad had a 78 Vette. He only added a cam. I freaking loved that car. It reminds me of the Batmobile and the SR-71 Blackbird. Drive safely, my friend.
The difference between ft-lb and lb-ft is where the force is applied. If applied from the center out (like an axle), it's lb-ft. If applied to the center (like a wrench), is ft-lb. That's why car manufacturers and tool manufacturers differ in their units.
My 98 Honda Prelude Type SH has a torque vectoring system similar to the Lexus system. I guess the Prelude is just a forgotten car now but that tech was out in the 90s. I have to say that it makes a huge difference until one of the pressure sensors broke.
Look at the acura sh-awd system with overdriven real wheels to actually push the outside rear faster than the inside, trust vectoring. It's noticeable in my 2012 TL
I think you messed up a bit at 6:54. As you said just before, normally it's the outside tyre that needs some torque transferred, while the inside one loses traction (due to weight transfer and centrifugal force). This problem is exacerbated for RWD cars on uphill airpin bends where the rear inside wheel also has part of the weight lifted due to the elevation change.
Were just discussing with a friend how the new EV rally cars etc will handle the twisties with full torque from 1 rpm. So yea, looking forward to EV torque vectoring video and maybe a comparison from RWD/AWD/EV. Keep it up!
10:51 this sounds scary, like the car could start acting very unpredictable soon as you're on the edge of losing traction and and you start counter steering, and the car starts braking and accelerating trying to murder you by attempting to actually go where you point your wheels instead of where you try to re-direct the inertia.
It wouldn't be in the ECU (engine control unit), mich more likely to be found in the chassis controller, abs controler, or a separate one that would have otherwise been a separate stability controller, the ECU has enough things to manage and there's plenty of other boxes to stick the controls for that in that already get wheel speed sensors for each corner of the car run to them.
Yes please make a b2b episode about differentials, I miss the torsen differential that is not only available for all wheel cars but also in available for your rear wheel driven car in the aftermarket and for some front wheel driven cars like the focus RS you can get it from the car manufacturer as a ring package.

Agreed, it was even introduced ALL the way back in 2005 on the Acura RL (I owned one for 7 years). It's NOT a brake based torque-vectoring like others that Jerry mentioned!
@@VorsprungDurchNik Did a guy who drives a Honda fuck your girlfriend - or do you have anything to contribute to the conversation that actually speaks to the engineering of the all wheel drive systems?
Here's something that might help (see the description for a condensed version on how it's a unique system and different from their AWD)
ua-cam.com/video/Yz9ol5zy5nk/v-deo.html
Acura/Honda did electronically controlled electromagnetic clutch packs for active torque vectoring in the SH-AWD system on the 2005 Honda Legend/Acura RL! Standard!
About a decade earlier they had ATTS on the fifth generation Prelude
Used clutch packs to feed more power to the outside wheel when cornering
This was 97 that it was first introduced so the Prelude really lived up to its name with this bit of tech
I really like your content, specially when you approach engineering and the specs of racing categories. Please keep up the good work.
I know that your audience is mainly US based, but I strongly suggest that you place both imperial and metric measurements. Nm is a standard unit and one that makes the whole pound-foot question more obvious for those who are somewhat familiar with kinematics from high schoool.
If think it is also helpful to establish that an open differential has some advantages besides the cost.
Again, good job.
At 6:50-ish there you had the tires mixed up. The outside won't spin as it has the grip thanks to the higher load thanks to weight transfer while turning. It's the unloaded inside tire that spins.
I am a little confuse about the joke Jeremiah makes about torque @7:00. Isn't it the inside wheel that gets all the torque wasted because it broke traction? It should be the inside wheel saying: "it's my torque ablalblalabllalba" while wasting it.
Yes you are right 😅
Even I thought that for a second.
I had to watch that part a few times before I realized it was a mistake, I thought I was so dumb for a second trying to figure it out lol
Got very confused there for a second, had to watch it a couple times as well

Toyota TV is def something I would watch
Watching this reminded me of my 1st Gen Acura RDX. The SH-AWD system made that little CUV handle in ways it didn't had a right to for its category. Absolutely loved it once I realized that to get the most of it, using the throttle through the turn was key. I still miss it. They changed their character once SH-AWD was no longer offered.

How's the turbo. Mine has a sticking wastegate
I have 3rd gen, baby handles like a dream for what it is
@@Kana0211 mine was fantastic for the 3 years that I had it. Had to sell it because I moved to a different state but the guy who bought it never reported any mechanical issues.
@@magick7637 Yes. Also handles like a spring recoil.
Torque equals the cross product of the distance vector and force vector.
In cross-products, unlike dot-products, the order matters.
The unit should be FtLb, not the other way around.
Dot product:
A • B = B • A
Cross product:
A x B ≠ B x A
Although the SI unit for torque is Newton-meters (Nm), it should be meters-Newton (mN).
I would love an episode about how electric vehicles do torque vectoring, especially for off-road oriented trucks. How does torque vectoring work in EVs with 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 motors?
In a four motor EV I’d imagine the “diff” would be mainly software controlled I’d imagine
4:12 The common unit of torque isn't LB-FT .... it is NM (newton meter)
Americans: *complain about lb-ft*
"Wouldn't have this issue if you would move out of the 19th century and start using real units like everybody else"
it just depends on where you live, this youtube channel is in the US so they're gonna discuss US cars and US units mainly, they may be "wrong" in the global scope but if you're an american and somebody tells you something in newton-meters they'll ask you why you're talking about fruit bars instead of car parts
@@goldensunrayspone The US was the first country that started with implementing the part of the metric system in 1792 with decimal currency, _the dollar cent,_ although the quarter still exists.
That was even before France, first country, implemented the metric system in 1795.
My favorite torque vectoring experience so far was the Evo 8. Makes driving quickly so easy and with a lot of control.
I would definitely love an episode on electric cars and how they deal with torque on the street and off road because off road =]
You have to do an episode on Acura's SH-AWD system. Would be awesome with how detailed your videos are.
Why was Honda not mentioned? They were the first to implement an Active Torque Transfer System (aka: ATTS, on the Prelude, in 1997) that used clutches to direct power, instead of brakes (to waste power!)
I could really use to see how the acura shawd system works, like in the 09 rl with the accleration device
I think this is my favorite series on the channel. Science for the win!

The TON-MILE has always been my favorite unit of measure, commonly used to quantify mechanical wear of large wire-ropes used in very heavy lifting gear like that used in a drilling rig’s draw-works.

So it's not an enormous unit of torque and is instead a measure of wear based on how much weight has been applied over a length of wire-rope?
@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 I believe the metric first found use in the locomotive/freight/rail industry. Something to the tune of the weight in short tons divided by the distance travelled in miles equals ton/miles. I suppose it could be used many different application of scale, but wouldn’t an engine large enough to have it’s power output measured in ton-miles be awesome!? 🤘🏼

Man said "I ain't talking about differential in calculus either" then did an entire mini segment on the literal differential equation factor of force used to produce rotational speed in an open diff. 😂 I love it man
Definitely late on this, but Acura's 1st gen SH-AWD was definitely ahead of it's time
Acura had torque vectoring well before Lexus. In 2004, the '05 Acura RL introduced torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
As far as the Lexus system, nearly every Lexus since 2006 (and even many Toyotas) have vehicle-dynamics integrated management, which is essentially brake vectoring on steroids, capable of making millisecond-by-millisecond braking, throttle, and even power steering adjustments to prevent under or oversteer, often before it is even noticed by the driver.
Dont forget about the rear diff in a Nissan juke, its got lotsa clutches just like the sh system honda made. I personally drive an 09 rdx which is a very under rated car.
@@jamesgasper8630 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution from the 90's dude
@@christoforospaphitis4090 the Evo had clutches in the rear axle, but it couldn't overdrive the rear axle like SH-AWD. Only the Evo 10th-generation had true torque vectoring.
Jerry: *Casually sings 'It's my life' by Bon Jovi in the most Jerry way possible*
Ps:- we need a B2B on LSDs
@Panav Mendiratta We need a B2B or an Up To Spped on Bon Jovi now.
It's channels like yours that make me not hate ads. Love your videos.
As far as I understand, torque vectoring is where torque is actually transferred using clutch packs or a mechanical system. Like in EVOs. While using brakes is now called torque vectoring, it is kind works in the opposite manor and is completly a reactive system unlike an evo
4:12 the common unit of torque is not the pound-foot, it's the newton meter.
Even the pound-foot itself is based on the metric system nowadays, just like the rest of the imperial system.
So calling it the common measurement like the USA aren't the only ones using it, is just wrong.
It's common in the US so someone from the US will say it's common
@@Kana0211 just because the US is using it doesn't mean it's common. It's specific to the US. It's like americans going to other countries and yelling at them to speak english.
@@dariolinder4508 Donut’s based in LA. Primary audience is also American. “Common” units are going to be the customary/imperial/American/whatever you want to call them units. Not everything is abt the rest of the world
Common is not the same as most common
Calm down dingle jingle.
I’m surprised Acura’s SH-AWD wasn’t mentioned. Guess it’s an even more complex system
This was solely based on rear wheel drive
@@jonathanaminiel1823 that’s a good point, probably why they went to Lexus to explain it instead of Acura

VW released in 2013 on the Golf mk7 GTI Performance Pack the VAQ differential, that works with XDS. Basically that's the FWD version of what Lexus introduced later on the RCF. The VAQ has clutches to send more torque to the wheel with more grip and XDS is a brake based torque vectoring system, already available since 2009.
I love how smart this is! I will just believe in the magic of engineering until I can study this enough in detail
I'd enjoy an episode on torque systems in front wheel drive cars, like the ATTS model Honda used in the Prelude Type SH
I'd love to see more on the electric IWD (Independent Wheel Drive) that uses 4 motors. Please and thanks!

My TLX Type S’s SH-AWD is by far the best AWD I’ve ever driven. I’d love to see a comparison to Audis’s Quattro AWD system. That’d be an interesting to see since I couldn’t find any other channel that had them both, or any systems amongst manufactures for that matter.
Dude. Very, very good explanation. I could not have said it better myself but here’s my request: FWD cars that fight their own urge to understeer… so weight transfer is as important as “from the wheels that slip, to the wheels that grip” -Subaru advertising. Now, a front wheel drive car can avoid understeer in a few different ways. The Honda or Acura Integra… the Pontiac Grand Prix GT specifically because the GTP was supercharged and unfair to the crowd…. Now what about the Cavalier SS? Who made the best FWD rocket… Mazda 3 is a hatch so I can’t include that. Think about those legendary FWD cars we love to hate and hate to love… did they use stability management?? I’ll say the, “Wider is better” slogan from Pontiac was true to a point. I turned that car inside out around the turns. Carved those wedges and I hated that it was FWD. VERY effective platform. I turned off the stability control and smoked those tires. Turn it back on and smoked those Mustangs that I love so much. Hahah
I cannot believe that I forgot about the Taurus SHO. SVO? Yep. Who made the best FWD.
YES. Please explain the difference between different LDS's; e.g. open, 1 way, 1.5 way, 2 way, etc.
Jeremiah is hilarious and amazing!
I could be watching anything narrated by him :D
Keep it going, man! 😎
Aaand, bonus points to EDITOR, for letting us see those brilliant moments :)
Donut Media: Here is how the active aero works on the new Koenigsegg Jesko!
Jeremy: Ok, first let's explain why wheels are round
Honda’s SH-AWD system, with its over-driven rear diff, and clutch system, is nothing short of witchcraft when you really hurl it into corners. The humble Acura RL, with its loafy ride, stately interior, and mediocre steering feel comes ALIVE when pushed hard. The outside rear tire SHOVES the car around the corner, it feels organic and alive. It’s some seriously brilliant engineering.
The gyroscope joke gave me a good laugh. We have a local gyro restaurant and people are always pronouncing "gyro" (the meat) like "gyro" in "gyroscope" and it makes my eye twitch just a little everytime 😂
I would definitely like to see a video on electric cars and torque vectoring.
Most people have issue with the concept of wheels, and think “complex maintenance” involves filling up windshield washer.
as someone currently failing Cal 1, that differential joke hit a little too hard

Isn't this like the third title by now?
Great video. Only thing is, I'm not so sure how much maintenence a LSD needs. I own a 30 year old Fox Mustang with 130k miles. A lot of those have been pretty hard miles. I have changed the dif fluid to synthetic around 50k miles, but that's it. The LSD still works awesome. Lays two long patches anywhere of any length at any time.
I live in a rural section of Ontario Canada. I drive a 16 y.o. open diff Crown Vic - which is surprising because I thought limited was standard on all P-71 spec cars. Covid times have been tough so I'm still running decade old summer rubber down to the wear bars, 5 months a year, 16 Km at the end of an ice road, with one particular part that I call 'Nemisis Hill' - a 90 degree turn at the bottom of a quarter mile 12 percent grade. There are some hairy mornings, and I've come down backwards twice in five years .. but I still trust my go foot, the ghost of ol' Hank, and 45 winters driving junk over whatever computer crap they're trying to shove down my throat.
The Lexus TVD in the RC-F is a bit more than where you left it with just electronic control of the clutch packs. What really makes the Lexus version different is that the clutch packs engage a planetary gear set that OVERDRIVES the outside wheel by 1.5 to 3 percent more than the differential output. You can actually feel the yaw moment when it is helping to drive the rear outside wheel faster to push it around the corner. Fun fact, it is also 80lbs heavier than just their standard Torsen rear diff.
Remember that Subaru commercial on NPR ... "with torque vectoring that sends power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip" or something like that. Maybe that's why so many Subaru owners listen to NPR?
Back in the day, we had a system of braking, steering and throttle application that makes all of these new systems completely obsolete. It's called skill.
Every possible episode you proposed in this video, I want it. Every single one of them.
this may be the only instructional/informational video i've ever watched that I was sad it was ending...i didn't want it to be over....The Binge Begins..
Thank you so much for this explanation! I retained none of the information provided and will act like a certified mechanical engineer in every situation possible
What i find stange with american and uk, i learnt the shaft going from the gearbox to the diff is a prop shaft (propeller shaft) and the shafts connecting the diff to the wheel hubs are driveshafts
I didn't really understand how well brake torque vectoring works till I got my C6 Vette. Makes you feel like a freaking racecar driver. Could literally throw the car was faster into a turn than you think you can and all you feel is GRIP!
Beautiful car. My dad had a 78 Vette. He only added a cam. I freaking loved that car. It reminds me of the Batmobile and the SR-71 Blackbird.
Drive safely, my friend.
I want that full B2B diff episode! This was awesome!
The difference between ft-lb and lb-ft is where the force is applied. If applied from the center out (like an axle), it's lb-ft. If applied to the center (like a wrench), is ft-lb. That's why car manufacturers and tool manufacturers differ in their units.
Acura SH-AWD is genuinely unmatched.
You must alter your driving style completely to compensate for the additional traction.
Mind blowing.
I've been into car for awhile and just now learned how a diff works, thanks uncle Jerry
Yes! Please do an episode on LSDs, Electric car Torque Vectoring and don’t forget Corvette C7’s “active differential”. Yeah car science!
My 98 Honda Prelude Type SH has a torque vectoring system similar to the Lexus system. I guess the Prelude is just a forgotten car now but that tech was out in the 90s. I have to say that it makes a huge difference until one of the pressure sensors broke.
Jobe and that porsch look so natural together
Look at the acura sh-awd system with overdriven real wheels to actually push the outside rear faster than the inside, trust vectoring. It's noticeable in my 2012 TL
I think you messed up a bit at 6:54. As you said just before, normally it's the outside tyre that needs some torque transferred, while the inside one loses traction (due to weight transfer and centrifugal force). This problem is exacerbated for RWD cars on uphill airpin bends where the rear inside wheel also has part of the weight lifted due to the elevation change.
You know, usually your technical stuff isn't great but this was very good! Well done
Clutch type LSDs are awesome. Turns like an open diff at slow speeds.
Were just discussing with a friend how the new EV rally cars etc will handle the twisties with full torque from 1 rpm. So yea, looking forward to EV torque vectoring video and maybe a comparison from RWD/AWD/EV. Keep it up!
I'd like to know why it matters what torque they make at 1 RPM lol
10:51 this sounds scary, like the car could start acting very unpredictable soon as you're on the edge of losing traction and and you start counter steering, and the car starts braking and accelerating trying to murder you by attempting to actually go where you point your wheels instead of where you try to re-direct the inertia.
It wouldn't be in the ECU (engine control unit), mich more likely to be found in the chassis controller, abs controler, or a separate one that would have otherwise been a separate stability controller, the ECU has enough things to manage and there's plenty of other boxes to stick the controls for that in that already get wheel speed sensors for each corner of the car run to them.
"...gyroscope, or euroscope depending on where you live in the world." that one got me.
I miss the old style of B2B. Getting to actually see cool cars up close, but this show is mad good I can’t even complain.
Yes please make a b2b episode about differentials, I miss the torsen differential that is not only available for all wheel cars but also in available for your rear wheel driven car in the aftermarket and for some front wheel driven cars like the focus RS you can get it from the car manufacturer as a ring package.
Tool Party was amazing. More of it please!!!
Yes ! We want all the torque vectoring video! Thanks 🙏
