The concept

Dynamic Performance Control optimizes the handling characteristics of your vehicle when starting off, cornering, and during evasive maneuvers.

To achieve this, the system variably distributes the drive torque of the rear axle to the two rear wheels. This further increases the steering precision and tracking stability of your vehicle.
