Ups, forgot about it ... ofcourse and (super) skilled drivers are required too.

Just that some of the AWD fanboys (Martin ofcourse excluded, he's a fan probably), comfuse those relatively slow things, a.k.a. AWD WRC/inspired cars with the real gods of cornering.

Regarding 3-diffs in Dynamic xDrive - like I said I unfortunately have no additional info, yet based purely on the press release info I would say there is only one active differential there: on the rear axle. While no active front differential, and no central one.

Maybe I'm wrong though.


It also looks like DPC can be also a stand-alone option - without xDrive. Working like a LSD.

Will wait and see. I never said that the DxD will be identical to the recently banned 3 IAD WRC system, just though it would be a somewhat simliar.
