This means that it can shift the power from the Formentor’s 2.5-litre TSI five-cylinder engine between the rear wheels (whichever is on the outside) during cornering, providing remarkable agility on the road.



The multi-plate clutch pack has its own ECU that constantly analyses wheel speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, yaw angle, steering angle, accelerator pedal position and the selected gear – before sending the required amount of torque to the wheel with the most load to ensure greater turn-in speed and stability mid-corner.



Thanks to the existing chassis system and the torque splitter technology, the CUPRA engineers have also...
