dSPACE NEWS Jaguar: Rear Wheel Drive More Sporty Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in the United Kingdom is enjoying great success using dSPACE Prototyper to improve the handling and stability of the famous Jaguar S-Type with an electronically controlled limited slip differential (LSD). The approach is based on adjusting and optimizing torque transfer to the driven wheels by applying strategies which they tested in a vehicle using MicroAutoBox. The result is improved safety and a better driving experience. A key advantage was a development time of only nine months from project start to the first prototype vehicle. Limited Slip Differential In a rear wheel drive car, engine torque is transferred to the rear axle through a crown wheel and pinion. If the axle is rigid, cornering becomes a pr
