No DRIFT Mode in the next AUDI cars
|There are a lot of cars who offers assistance in drifting your vehicle and playing with your car. But Audi won’t be one of them. It’s considered useless and if any driver want to drift it should have full control by turning off ESP,so he/she can do it but without car assistance.
Audi Sport Development Boss,Stephan Reil,told: “No drift mode. Not in the R8, not in the RS3, not in the RS6, not in the RS4. I don’t like them. I do not see the reason for them. We do not see the sense in sitting there burning the back tires. It’s not fast.”
But what should a driver do if he wants to drift in an Audi car?
“You can do it yourself [drifting] with the ESP off, if you hold it [the button] for three seconds. Then it will not intervene for you even when it [the car] is fully out of control, because that’s what you asked it not to do. u wanted the full control by pushing that button. You got it,”-he added.
A drift is technically very difficult to do by not a professional driver and that’s the reason companies introduce DRIFT Mode in their vehicles. Essentially, all drift modes maintain the car’s slip angle by restricting torque delivery to the drive wheels and precisely braking individual wheels, though some utilize other strategies as well. But Audi insists not to include that mode and leaving it in driver hands.
What’s your opinion? Do you want a DRIFT Mode in Audi cars?
