BMW X6 marks the first use of the new Dynamic Performance Control system, which works in unison with xDrive all-wheel drive, both standard on the X6. DPC is a drivetrain and chassis control system that works to regulate traction and especially improve the over-and understeer by actively spreading drive forces across the rear axle. Torque is distributed not only between the front and rear wheels (xDrive) but also from side to side in the rear, for improved agility and added stability (through the DPC rear axle).
Specification BMW X6
DPC differential features clutch packs on both output sides that are actuated by an electric motor. Clutch pack activates a planetary gearset which resulted in one of the wheels into overdrive. A conventional control system will use the brakes to reduce the speed of the wheel is moving faster (which became one of the less traction) and reduce engine power.
