Competes with: Mini Cooper Countryman, Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Focus hatchback; Looks like: Fiat's take on the Mini Cooper Countryman; Drivetrain: 160-hp, turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder with six-speed manual or . UK-based toroidal drive company Torotrak has acquired a 20% stake in flywheel hybrid innovator Flybrid Automotive Ltd (formerly Flybrid Systems LLP) (earlier post) with an option to acquire the remaining shares before the end of The full toroidal variator combined with a torque control operating strategy seamlessly transfers energy from the vehicle driveline to the flywheel during dynamic operation, when the speeds of both elements are changing independently. For this year's race Mitsubishi added S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamics control system to a four-motor drivetrain (two-front/two-rear) for increased handling and control in the MiEV Evolution II. (a system which ' returns' torque to the engine at low revs and with an active ABS), DST (Driving Steering Torque: active steering system which offers more resistance in certain circumstances) and ERM (stability control for extreme situations). The Delphi system eliminates driveline bump that occurs during this throttling transition. Exploring the latest in electronic throttle control systems. Click on pics to view larger images . Electronic Throttle Control Advances. Can automatically deliver up to 50 percent of engine power to the rear wheels. In Sport Mode, the AWD system also can apportion power based on input from the steering angle and yaw rate sensors of the Vehicle Stability Control system. At the Los Angeles International Auto Show, Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager Bill Fay shows the newly-designed 2013 RAV4, which arrives in showrooms early next year. By Michael Knowling, diagrams by Delphi. The accompanying under-car clunks are caused by the rapid load change in the driveline and the forces that are transmitted through engine, gearbox and differential mountings.
