So, by specifying the percentage of clutch engagement, at a specific time in the turn & throttle input, they can change the torque bias from the "natural" wheel to the opposite wheel (which just so happens to be turning at a different rate, and has more mechanical advantage at that moment).
I would LOVE to see the computational models of the physics and acceleration vectors behind the system in different situations.  |
I certainly see your point about the vectoring, but I was mainly trying to help explain that there are not multiple clutches actively vectoring torque to the wheel of the eLSD computer's choosing. The clutch can work to equalize the torque from the natural wheel to the opposite wheel, but I don't believe the eLSD alone could ever force more than 50% of the torque to the unnatural wheel (i.e, without activating the rear brakes).
The part I'm struggling with is under what scenario could any level of eLSD clutch engagement cause the car to pull to one side while the driver is trying to go straight? I just can't wrap my head around how that could happen.
