In the oldGolf R, the system could send up to 50 percent of the engine's power to the rear axle, but the new car gets an improved torque vectoring system that uses a rear differential with two multi-plate clutches.They can distribute up to 100 percent of the torque to the various rear wheels.VW says this reduces the vehicle's turning radius.

“This is one of the key technologies that makes this Golf R the best yet. It transforms the car, making the driver dynamic and intuitive. Jan Schidek-Yacht, head of technical development for the VolkswagenGolf R, said in a statement: "It provides comfort on a twisty road or track while minimizing oversteer and understeer."

The new torque vectoring system also allows VW engineers to implement a "drift" mode, which changes stability control parameters and diverts all available rear-wheel torque to the outer wheels, causing drift.
