Yes, cars are full of complex mechanisms but at the same time tremendously simple, the fruit of the brilliance of the engineers who lived on horseback between the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries and who have been technically "polished" throughout the history of motorsports. .
But… What the heck is a differential? Well, it is the element that allows the driving wheels to rotate at different speeds. And why do you need a differential? Well, because when we draw a curve the outer wheels rotate faster than the inner ones, a phenomenon that if not compensated would drag us out in addition to forcing the final link of the transmission.
The differential therefore acts to distribute the force between the driving wheels so that each one can rotate at its own pace. And how the heck does he do it? To explain it to you, I am going to stop writing and invite you to watch this video in which Chevrolet explains it to us, and it is that it can hardly be clearer!
