Make no mistake, this is still a luxury sedan. The ride is compliant over smaller surface irregularities, but firms up nicely with the 'whoopdi doos' . If you coast through the corners, you'll have understeer like any other 60/40 f/r weight bias car. However if you keep the power on through the curves, you'll enable the Super Handling AWD system. The rear differential moves torque along the rear axle from left to right and a planetary gear allows the wheel getting the additional torque to accelerate faster. This introduces a yaw effect to help turn the car into corners and reduce understeer. It works pretty damn good and surprises the heck out of a lot of people. The engine is rated for 260 at 5000 rpm, but it's over 240 from 2000 to 6500 rpm.
