I am thinking about buying the new 911 C4S but I couldn't find any resource about how the AWD system works. Can you guys help me with it please? Like how rear biased it is? And in what situations it transfers torque? I watched that motortrend video where they tested the C4S against the Ferrari and a Corvette, they said that, if you try to slide it, ıt will give you a bit of drift than will straighten up itself, is that true? What kind of torque distribution makes C4S behave like that?



Thanks for replying
Someone who likes to drift! :D
 
There's some information here:

The drive bias will be heavily to the rear unless it detects loss of grip somewhere. Just as with the 997, its integrated with stability management (PSM).

If you want to control the level of permitted drift, you need to option the Sport Chrono Package which gives you the Sport Plus button.

You can also turn off PSM completely; ABS remains active.

Does it do anything to the AWD system?
Thanks for the reply!
