Lancia Delta HF
(Edit)
Transmission type Full-time all wheel drive with an epicyclic center differential paired with a Ferguson viscous coupling; Torsen-type rear differential with 5 to 1 wheel torque ratio. Three differentials are at the heart of the system. Drive to the front wheels is linked through a free-floating differential; drive to the rear wheels is transmitted via a 56/44 front/rear torque-splitting Ferguson viscous-coupling-controlled epicyclic central differential. The real innovation as far as production cars are concerned however, lies between the rear wheels. The Torsen (torque sensing) rear differential is similar to that found on McLaren Formula 1 cars. The result of combining these differentials in this configuration is an automatic-thinking four-wheel-drive system which requires no manual input from the driver, yet ensures maximum potential traction at any given time. The Torsen differential is a true 'intelligent' differential in the way it distributes torque. It divides the torque between the two wheels according to the grip available and it does it without ever locking fully; maximum lockup is 70 per cent. Standard differentials are either free-floating or self-locking. Free-floating systems are good at differentiating between wheel speeds on bends, but always supply the same amount of torque to both wheels. In this situation, however, there is a risk that the wheel with the lighter load (on an incline, for example) or less grip, will lose traction. To counteract this possibility, totally self-locking differentials ensure that both wheels rotate at the same speed but in doing this, prevent free differentiation in cornering, to the detriment of handling and stability.

Figure: Lancia Delta / Lancia Dedra / Fiat Tempra / Alfa Romeo 155 4wd power distribution unit. Planetary center differentical is located on the left, near the left driveshaft. Viscous coupling is located on the right side near the right driveshaft. ![]() Figure: Lancia Delta / Lancia Dedra / Fiat Tempra / Alfa Romeo 155 4wd power distribution unit. 100% of the power goes to the planetary center differential (red), from there, the power is distributed between the front axle (yellow) and the rear axle (blue). When slipping occurs, the viscous coupling locks the front and rear shafts together. The engine is rotating the outer gear of the planetary gear center differential. Power to the front wheels is taken from the sun gear (center gear). Power to the rear wheels is taken from the planet gears (the smallest gears in the middle). ![]()

Lancia Delta S4
(Edit)
Full-time all wheel drive with an epicyclic center differential paired with a Ferguson viscous coupling.
Lancia y10 4wd
(Edit)
Part-time all wheel drive. Button-operated. Vacuum-operated rear axle disconnect system. When in 2wd mode, the driveshafts are disconnected from the transfer box and from both rear wheels.

Hi
Can u say me please, in which book u found this picture? (The description of the Picture is in german)
Is there a technical book of the Group b cars with those fantastic descriptions?
Hi, it came from the Internet
Why don't Lancia delta s4 make a new 2017 ( twin turbos & supercharged v4 DOHC I-VTEC IMA engine ) with 12,000 rpm red line & 700 hp . A new body style like the Harald Belker Lexus 2054 Los Angeles police car with active rear wings for cornering , stopping & speed.
