And VW clain to be the 1st company to put it in a FWD production car.
Although the VW system can direct up to 100% torque to the outside wheel where a certain other car can only to up to 80%.
Same with 4ws Porsches, BMWs and renaults.

Every season they bang on about how amazing the Golf GTI is, its honestly nothing special. I swear Top Gear get paid by VW to blow smoke up the Golfs arse.

I have another way to make Cyclists cause less accidents..............................Put them on the pavement!!
Been saying it for years.
Road - Cycilist hit's car/gets hit by car - Little protection - high chance of serious injury or fatality, further chance of pile up and inevitable obstruction/traffic jam.
Pavement - Cycilist hits pedestrian - Low chance of serious injusry Probable chance of minor injury. very little chance of fatality. Pedestrian could move out of the way in most cases due to the relatively low speed of the cyclist compared to that of a car.
It's just sensible!! I really don't know why the council did not take my idea seriously.
