"This isn't just a standard AWD, it's Ford Performance AWD. We're using a system we believe no one else is." So it's not the same as the basic get-you-out-of-the mud Kuga set-up. Crucially, it mostly doesn't control the car's trajectory using the brakes. "We can control the torque front to back but also side to side. With more power to the outer rear wheel dynamically, you can drive the car through that corner and eliminate understeer. The capability is unbelievable. It's going to shock you guys when you get behind the wheel."
There's no rear diff at all. Instead, either side of the crownwheel and pinion are clutch packs. Each of those packs, one per side, is independently controlled by the electronics, so that the torque to each rear wheel is determined by the amount of slip in its clutches.
