Does MK8. Golf R Drift Mode really work? Can you drift an AWD car? How does the MK8 drift mode work? Today we jump in the MK8. Golf R (MK8R) and drift it! We also look at how the drift mode works, on a FWD bias, AWD car. Whether its a proper DRIFT, or a POWERSLIDE, I will leave to you. #mk8r #Drifting #Humblemechanic

It would be a fun feature for gravel or snow. It seems like for pavement it required pushing it much harder to get it loose than you have to with a rear drive car. It would be hard to find a good place to safely play with that on pavement - I guess a big parking lot.

Drift mode is undoubtedly a gimmick but a fun one! It's not really accurate to say that this or other clutch-based AWD systems can send up to 50% power to the rear wheels. Percentage torque splits make sense when you are describing a standard open differential (50:50) or something like one of the later (R)S model Quattros with a default 40:60 split and a 4:1 torque biasing ratio (80:20 to 20:80), but they are confusing when talking about a typical clutch-based AWD system. I like to think of it as if they are a part-time system that can vary from off to fully locked. When the clutch is disengaged, no torque goes to the rear (or possibly a small amount due to clutch drag or preload). When the clutch is fully engaged, up the maximum torque capacity of the clutch can be sent to the rear axle. In the case of the Mk8 Golf R, Magna claims up to 3500 NM (1750 NM per side) for the Performax Rear Drive module. That's more than the transmission output at max engine torque in first gear, so theoretically all of the power could be sent to the rear axle. In driving situations where the clutch is fully engaged and neither axle is struggling for traction, the split will indeed be 50:50. But if the front axle approaches the limit of grip, more power will be transferred through the rear axle, pushing the car forward and maintaining traction at the front. In these situations, quite possible under heavy weight transfer, more than 50% of the power is being delivered through the rear wheels.

Bmw clutch based AWD can send it all to the rear. This is what I call a drift mode. VW must go back to basics. RWD biased AWD platforms with disconnectable front axle.

@rosskj9187 2 жыл бұрын

@@timetravellergec2043 It is just a gimmick based on the fact that it has a new torque vectoring differential. If you want RWD biased car get a BMW, Golfs and other VAGS simply should not be RWD biased since this changes the DNA of the cars entirely. Front wheel drive cars / front biased AWD cars are far easier to explore the limits of grip with, this makes them easier to drive fast for the majority of people due to understeer being more predictable than oversteer, BMW's are certainly targeted more towards driving enthusiasts (amongst luxuries) thus anyone who's owned/driven a BMW will tell you it's a hell of a lot more lethal on the limit than a FWD biased car. Each have their own target market and VW are doing it right with the Golf.

As an mk7 golf r owner i have to say the Focus rs is way easier to drift , donuts , and way overenginiered fro street use, while the golf r is still a drag race vehicle and confort however i love the dsg and its engine capabilities. For sure i will trade in for the mk8 But golf r for drift nahhhhh, i don't see myself drifting n a golf r. Maybe focus rs if you want to drift.

The GR yaris has a clutch based AWD system and it can send more power to the rear than the front under normal conditions. The secret is slightly higher gearing on the rear diff, which means that a full lock would be able to make the front tires slide, in which case they would brake the car if it ever did fully lock. But that doesn't mean anything for drifting obviously.

Knowing how to drive a car while the wheels are slipping truly is helpful in my experience, even better if you know what to do when the front and rear of the car are slipping very differently from each other (understeer or oversteer)... how/why that can happen... & what prevents it from happening.

The answer is rather simple. The rear diff has slightly longer gearing than the front one, so in a full lock scenario the front wheels would be slower than the rear ones, which means that all the forward torque goes through the rear wheels. The car doesn't actually do that, but it can do 70/30 with it.

If you see Chris Harris review of the MK7 Golf R from several years back, he managed to get it sideways through a corner with a bone stock car. Granted it required a lot of speed with a Scandinavian flick, but it could be done. That is not ideal, but with some suspension modifications and proper alignment, you can have a LOT of sideways fun with an MK7. I think the MK8 new rear diff is an improvement, but it seems a relatively minor one. It might be a lot more effective with similar suspension modifications. I run -2.5 degrees of camber in front, -2 in back, slight toe out front a back, and stiffer springs, bushings... It is extremely balanced, gentle turn in results in nice four wheel drift, but a sharp turn in while lifting will make the rear easily come around but in a very controlled manner. It is not the fast way, but makes for easy adjustments when needed and can be a lot of fun. It seems the MK8 still needs some work for track use, the new diff helps but you don't need it to have a fun tail out track car.

For drifting VWs, you should check in with The Drift Master, Tanner Foust. I think he is still a spokesman for VW. If you don't know Tanner, he was/is (?) a rally car and stunt driver. He was also the head driver for VW in the now-defunct GRC. Actually, it was the Beetles that killed the GRC. They won everything for three years in a row. Then GRC decided that everyone would have to run identical Fords. And that was the end.

Nope, they are the same atleast thats is claimed, the way it drifts is super smart, transfering rear available power to the one wheel, left or right depend on the side you do slide. In order to proper drift awd system you need overdrive at the rear so the rear axle can spin faster than the front, but they do super smart system by transfering all power to the one wheel so it can brake traction and make it drift, but for proper drift you really need to upset a car, push it really hard and it can drift properly.

That would have been awesome. Sadly the dude that wrecked my S4(hit a parked car) kinda ruined me being cool with others driving my car

Is the drift/drive mode similar to how “Adaptive Chassis Control” works? Follow up question- Can adaptive chassis control be turned off, or otherwise deleted? I can’t even stand ABS, a car controlling itself at the level of self adapting chassis control just sounds awful to me. As for the drift, if the torque converter shifts the power to the rear I’d say it’s possible to do legitimately. You still had to steer and control it.

Debbie downer question. Are the tires shot?

That was definitely a drift since you had to control it and maintain the power slide..power slide=stopping, drift=going..thats how i see it.

No, "powerslide" describes the act of using the engine power to oversteer the car.

@@chillgasm Dude, what I said is the LITERAL definition of a powerslide. Why do you think its called POWERslide? The misconception, that a powerslide is related to stopping, comes from the fact that powerslide is indeed a technique for stopping used with inline-skates. In the car world though, powerslide means something completely different.
