I was reading about the Lexus RCF and how it has a torque vectoring differential and how this differential has the ability to put more torque on the outer turning wheels rather than on the inside wheels which seems to be a common differential issue and a problem engineers have had difficulty staying within cost containment controls.

Does anyone have experience working on these differentials and truly understand how they work and how they can distribute torque more efficiently on a floating axle?

I know AMG/Mercedes also used this type of diff on one of their electric/hybrid vehicles but have not had any experience or technical deconstruction of how they actually function.

TIA
