George, I don’t know if the AWD system is the primary culprit. But its not uncommon for mid-rear engine cars to snap at the limits due to weight shift, even if the spec say perfect 50:50 weight distribution. It can snap due to suspension setup and tire choice/wear rate alone.

I do share your enthusiasm on RWD oversteering that is untainted by the AWD system.

George, I am not going to comment on the AWD system being the culprit, it may or may not be. How did you come to that conclusion? Have you actually analysed the snap against Motec acquired data?

If you can be certain about the car being easier to drive on two wheels, good for you. But I won’t jump to that conclusion based on speculation.

Momo, I presume you have derived that conclusion from Top Gear, which is true as far as I am aware. However I think the ten-tenths issue originated from the AWD system itself.

The fact was the AWD system provided an incredible amount of grip, however as soon as you exceeded its limits, it let go and all hell broke loose.

With only two wheels being driven, it will be far more manageable for a talented driver, because as soon as you push the limits of the car, you just leave two great black lines in your wake and an incredible amount of smoke with glorious oversteer.

My understanding is that the standard Murcielago can’t be driven at ten-tenths, at the limit it cannot hold the line and snap you are off the road.

So, with over 110kg shed off the weight and now without AWD, the weight distribution and handling will be very different to the standard car. As such other forms of dynamic assistance has to used.

A competitive driver will also NEED to adjust the car’s handling to suit the track and his individual driving style, hence the visually aggressive adjustable areo kit.

Its not rice if you use it on the track.
