2012 Ford Focus

Ford Motor Co. will introduce a new class-exclusive Ford technology, the Torque Vectoring Control, in its all-new 2012 Ford Focus. The new technology employs downhill skiing and snowboarding moves to increase vehicle stability in turns.
The company said that the next-generation Focus, which is engineered to increase novice driver confidence by adding a finer sense of control in curves, will please enthusiast drivers. Ford has also added a vehicle stability control system that was previously reserved for premium sports cars.
The Torque Vectoring Control technology uses the Focus braking system to imitate the effect of limited-slip differential, constantly balancing the distribution of engine output between the driven front wheels to suit driving conditions and road surface. The company noted that the system that is designed to delight experienced and enthusiastic drivers will also provide less- experienced drivers confidence and a better sense of vehicle control.
