Thought Audis couldn't drift? Think again! We send JamesTaylorCAR off to learn about the new 'drift mode' Torque Splitter in the latest RS3 🚀
There’s an ear-splitting howl of tortured tyres and smoke filling the air. The new Audi RS3 pivots sideways like a trolley that’s spotted a gap in a Christmas shopping queue and then, aided by a careful bit of steering-wheel juggling, the car is suspended in a huge circular powerslide.
The Modular Vehicle Dynamics Controller networks the Torque Splitter with sensors throughout the car, and works out how much torque to apportion to each rear wheel. Torque Rear mode is for showboating. It lets the Splitter send 100 per cent of rear torque to the outside wheel alone, to instigate a slide. It’s clever enough to sense when you’re doing it on purpose, and then balances torque side-to-side to help keep the drift going.
