How the drive system influences driving First, we would like you to use this game to drive a vehicle along this course. This should give you a good understanding of the features of the various drive systems. Click here to play game Drive the vehicle along this course. If normal steering is not possible, try page reload. If normal steering is still not possible, click the mouse cursor on the screen and make sure the correct browser has been selected. You can obviously take a more stable driving line with AWD than with the other systems which drive only two wheels. Why is that? With two wheel drive, excessive load is placed on the drive wheels. So, when lateral forces come into play during cornering, the tyres can't cope, so the vehicle steers to the outside or inside of the bend. This is understeering or oversteering. With AWD, the engine power is distributed to all four wheels in a balanced way, so there's little loss of tyre grip in the direction of vehicle travel, even when lateral force is applied during cornering. That means extremely neutral handling characteristics and a real improvement in driving pleasure.
