Ferrari's CTO details patented torque-vectoring AWD with rear-wheel steer

At first, reading the words “Ferrari” and “all-wheel drive” (AWD) seem as compatible as “oil” and “water,” but with the company's original FF entering its fifth year of production, the Maranello engineers decided it was time for its unique AWD system to get an update by incorporating a new, patented torque-vectoring capability and rear-wheel steering.

The first Ferrari to feature this integrated capability is the new GTC4 Lusso, a nameplate that conjures both the GTC and Lusso classics, with the ‘4’ denoting not the number of driven wheels but the seating capacity.
