Patent ID: 7641585

Claim:
A rear-drive vehicle comprising: a self-locking differential; an engine producing a drive torque (Tm) which is transmitted to the rear drive wheels by the self-locking differential; an accelerator pedal which modulates the drive torque (Tm) generated by the engine; a brake pedal which modulates a brake torque acting on the vehicle; a number of sensors for real-time detecting respective dynamic parameters of the vehicle; a regulating device for regulating the lock percentage (% L) of the differential; and a central control unit for controlling the regulating device to regulate the lock percentage (% L) of the differential as a function of the dynamic parameters of the vehicle; the vehicle is characterized in that when cornering the central control unit reduces the lock percentage (% L) of the differential when the accelerator pedal is pressed and increases the lock percentage (% L) of the differential when the accelerator pedal is released.
