Questions about 971 suspension system
Ok, so I have a few quick questions about the new Panamera 4s suspension and all-wheel drive system.
As we all know, FWD cars are not ideal for heavy acceleration due to torque steer which can be quite unsettling for some people. This is due to the different lengths in the driveshafts for the front axle of the vehicle. Now since the Panamera 4s utilizes an all-wheel drive system yet is about as good as it gets for a sports sedan, did they figure out a way to theoretically remove any possibility of obvious torque steer by making the driveshafts equal in length up front, or something that will provide a similar result?
Also, if there is torque steer, and you also have the rear-axle steering option, would the rear axle actually try to steer in the opposite direction because it falsely senses that you are trying to steer the front end in another direction while accelerating hard from a stop?
Finally, if I remember correctly, the 4s with the air suspension option should have the 3 chamber one like the turbo right?
