Impossible to drift in.

[BB Turbo]

I was watching a VW commercial th other day and heres what i found out, maybe im reposting or you all already know. Well, it starts out with a guy sliding on the ice and the man starts thinking to himself how great it would be to have that new VW right now with that 4 motion technology. Then I was like 4 motion, what is that? Later a person comes out and says that 4 motion is a new thing from VW that when one of the wheels start slipping, a computer puts more power to the other wheels so you wont slip anymore. I was thinking like damm, good luck trying to drift around a corner, the computer would probably go haywire or something. Just wondering if you all have heard of this, which you probably have. Flame me if you want.

i always thought 4motion was the 4 wheel drive...

pull a fuse, just like ABS:thinker

Give me the keys! This one is for the long slide

4motion is four-wheel-drive, actually, it's all-wheel-drive. It's like Subaru's or Quattro, in fact, it is Quattro, exact same system, they just renamed it on VW's.

ahhhh gosh, guys are great 240 buddies but some of you really should worry about other things than if a 4 motion Vw passat can drift or not

jus my 2 cizents!!

oh well, this is general just wondering if anyone else had heard of that.

This is general for a reason. Just about anything goes. Look at other threads, a number of them are completely not 240 related.Anyway, I assume you people realize that VW is the parent company of Quattro maker Audi, and that is why it's the exact same system. I'm all for AWD (Skyline-a-holic), drifting is possible I think, but I'm not sure, you'd need a lot of power, and if you did disable it, the car would be front-wheel-drive, so you couldn't drift anyway.

[Rockenreno]

well, you CAN drift in a FWD car, it is just harder... You have to be going pretty fast or use the e-brake, and the drifts are pretty lackluster.

[nametakennow]

That's not drifting, that's sliding with skill.

[lessthanjakejohn]

You can always turn off those TCS systems

I think of a skyline of more of a grip car. Its so damn heavy.

True, but have you seen the video.. what's the name... it's that British guy, he drives it, and slides like crazy. It's sweet, I want his job...
