2. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

   Contents. Differential (mechanical device) A differential is a gear train with three drive shafts that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the others. A common use of differentials is in motor vehicles, to allow the wheels at each end of a drive axle to rotate at different speeds while cornering.

3. Nissan GT-R - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R

   The GT-R is the first ever rear mounted independent transaxle all-wheel-drive vehicle. The transaxle consists of the transmission, clutches, centre and rear differential. Placed on the rear axle, it helps balance the weight of the engine up front and improves the front-to-rear weight distribution to 54:46. [77]

4. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

5. Audi S4 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_S4

   The 3.0-litre TFSI Supercharged (TFSI) V6 engine is shared with the Audi S5 Cabriolet (though the 7-speed S Tronic is the sole transmission) and the 2013 Audi S5 Coupe. The 2012–2015 Audi A4 3.0 TFSI quattro has a lower-output version of this engine making 272 PS (200 kW; 268 hp) @4780-6500 and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) @2150–4780.

6. GM 10.5-inch 14-bolt differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_10.5-inch_14-bolt...

   The initial design of the GM 10.5" 14-bolt differential spanned from 1973 to 1984, remaining unaltered until 1986. This iteration featured brake drums secured by wheel studs and utilized a smaller diameter pinion bearing compared to the subsequent design. The second design, in production since 1986, introduced notable improvements.

7. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   Limited-slip differential. Cone-type LSD. A limited-slip differential (LSD) is a type of differential gear train that allows its two output shafts to rotate at different speeds but limits the maximum difference between the two shafts. Limited-slip differentials are often known by the generic trademark Positraction, a brand name owned by General ...

8. Transfer case - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_case

   Part-time/Manual, shift on the fly. A transfer case is an intermediate gearbox that transfers power from the transmission of a motor vehicle to the driven axles of four-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and other multi-axled on- and off-road machines. A part of the vehicle's drivetrain, it employs drive shafts to mechanically deliver motive power.

9. Jaguar independent rear suspension - Wikipedia

   The side struts sit about horizontally in the live installation. Jaguar's independent rear suspension (IRS) unit has been a common component of a number of Jaguar production cars since 1961, passing through two major changes of configuration up to 2006 and last used in the Jaguar XK8 and Aston Martin DB7. This article concentrates on the first ...
