All-wheel drive (AWD1), also called fourwheel drive, means that power
is distributed to all four wheels, which improves traction.
To achieve the best traction, power is automatically directed to the wheels that
have the best grip. The system continuously calculates the need for torque to the
rear wheels, and can immediately redistribute up to half of the engine's torque
to the rear wheels...
