ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for driving a pair of laterally spaced road wheels of a motor vehicle includes a first torque transmitting device for transmitting a drive torque from a power source to the road wheels, the first torque transmitting device including a differential for distributing the drive torque to the road wheels, and a second torque transmitting device for transmitting the drive torque from the power source to the road wheels in bypassing relation to the differential, the second torque transmitting means including clutches for varying amounts of torque to be transmitted to the road wheels. A control circuit controls the clutches to vary the amounts of torque dependent on an operating condition of the motor vehicle.
