Ford Performance developed a unique all-wheel drive setup that can send up to 70 percent of that twist to the rear wheels. Where it can be put to good use in a variety of ways.
The Torque Vectoring Rear Drive Module combines a differential and two clutches that can send all, some or none of the torque to either wheel. The computer makes those decisions to keep tires from spinning and helping the car turn.
Along with Normal, Sport and Track, the RS has a driving mode called Drift, which has nothing to do with snow but will have you slipping and sliding around like on an icy back road. It softens the dampers and dials down the stability and traction control to send gobs of drive to the rear. You might burn through a set of tires to have this kind of fun.
The engine used is related to the 310 hp version offered in the Mustang but with its own cylinder heads, turbo and a few other tweaks to crank up the power. The massive vents on the front end cools it and the brakes are good for 30 minutes of uninterrupted hot laps before they need a break.
