Bruce Nunnally Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 2017 Cadillac XT5 twin-clutch all wheel drive demonstration. The AWD system continuously and automatically delivers excellent traction across a variety of conditions.

cdgrinci Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 That was a good demo; I would have liked them to perform it again without the stopping. I know it would work just fine but by transferring it three times (like in the demo) it would/should show the seamlessness of it all. just my two-cents Chuck '19 CT6, '04 Bravada........but still lusting for that '69 Z-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I guess if you don't stop then the momentum of the vehicle would overcome any lack of grip -- so pausing in each section demonstrates the torque shifts.

cdgrinci Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I yield to your observation Bruce, however, I'd like to see how seamless the progress (through the rollers) would be at a very slow speed. Going at perhaps one mile per hour the rollers would almost immediately loose grip thus showing how well (and fast) the twin clutch design works. I'm sure the system would do splendidly; just wonder if the remainder of the 'demo', did in fact, show the audience the system at work (as I described). I think it would have plus'd the video. JMO, and I do appreciate all the postings you provide (good work there).

Bruce Nunnally Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think you are right but we'd have to see it both ways to tell, or do it as a science project ourselves lol.
