Показать описание
All-wheel drive is an integral part of many modern sports cars. Adaptive all-wheel drive in the Holden Insignia VXR works by shuffling torque between the front and rear axles and between the two rear wheels.

In this demonstration, we joined V8 Supercars driver James Courtney and setup an ice handling circuit to see what the difference is between a front-wheel drive car and an all-wheel drive car. The results may surprise you.

I drive a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD and this beast handles very well in rainy conditions and snow 👍🏽👍🏽

But always know all AWD systems are not designed the same period

"Our trained engineers disabled the rear axle."
In other words they pulled the awd fuse out!

It pretty much looks the same. Only difference on AWD it looks like it's spinning out similarly to a rear wheel drive
