More likely than not, those interested in a sports car as athletic as the 2018 INFINITI Q60 have certain expectations for the handling and maneuverability of their coupe. Thanks to the luxury automaker’s Advanced Vehicle Dynamic Control with Active Trace technology, this little roadster is sure to exceed all of your standards.
VDC is a proprietary safety system that utilizes sensors to monitor a number of variables — from driver input to the vehicle’s motion — in order to aid operators in navigating winding roads, sharp curves, or acute turns. ATC keeps a watch over wheel commands to predict the actual direction the Q60 is heading, and prevent potential over- or under-steering.Â
If necessary, the intelligent CPU can autonomously manipulate the brakes and engine output to correct the intention. By applying pressure to individual dampers, the vehicle will navigate itself back into its rightful path, without any additional cues from the motorist.
While it’s suggested to keep this function on at most times, VDC can easily be switched off in any event where it’s not explicitly necessary — such as attempting to disembark from mud or snow.
