Just had an E-mail that the new model STi will either come with Prodrive ATD system or will be an added extra like PPP for about £2K

BTW Prodrive ATD is the Diff control that was demostrated on Top Gear P2 and is also on Video

YouTube - Top Gear - Prodrive P2

Whats ATD..???

 

prodrive

 

Good news. But those who saw Clarkson testing it on Top Gear will remember to carry a sick bag!!

 

It will be if the rumour ends up a Fact

Tony

 

Thanks for posting the url, Tony. I just wonder whether ATD might take some of the fun and skill out of driving... And also perhaps increase danger for numpties who think that the car will cope with anything they throw at it because it will always bail them out...

sounds like ayc on the evos.

you never even had to think what the rear was going to do in my old evo6 just point and squirt and 100 times more stable than the scoob.

and thats exactly what ayc does, takes away the fun and skill.

my nan can drive an evo fast lol.

 

IIRC the prodrive ATD can be turned off, not sure, But thought you can do the same with AYC !!

Don't know where your info is from but we know nothing about ATD on 08MY

Mike

 

From the horses mouth so to speak

 

So tell us what ya do know then, honest i wont tell anybody

P.S. we already know its a hatch back so forget that bit

 

I couldn't give a fek if it had Warp drive, if it looks anything like the shots I have seen of the new WRX they can stick it

 

Can you please please please release the P2 as a road car

 

From reading about the AYC some people seem to suggest the AYC decides when to turn off not the driver

One of the reasons I have kept away from Evo's is I have felt there must be less driver involvement as a lot seems computer controlled.

I suppose to go quicker than these cars currently go though it is a natural progression to use more computer controlled gimickry rather than driver skill when chasing quicker and quicker lap times.

 

I recieved an Email from someone who gave me this info , TBH i didn't think it made an outrageous claim

Tony

 

Would be great if Subaru released it as a road car, but IIRC they are not going too
Cheers

'on 08MY' -- NB, perhaps.
