new Ford website dedicated to BF

"Traction control brakes the driven wheel, which shows a tendency to spin, and adapts the engine torque to obtain maximum traction. The brake control is known as ABD (Automatic Brake Differential) and avoids loss of forward momentum through spinning wheels while maintaining lateral grip.”

Presser explained ABD was included in all BF Falcon and SY Territory models fitted with TCS and DSC.

Goodbye LSD and Hello ABD. This may be the most contriversal move for BF. Ditching the good old mechanical LSD for a braked differential system. While no biggy for Fairlane, LTD, Territory and even Fairmont Ghia.

But no LSD on XR6T and XR8 and presumably GT, F6 and GT-P..

I also wonder if non premium braked cars might beable to overload the solid rears with too much dift action (namely 190kw Ghia/xr). Also rears will wear faster, not a big issue for most, unless you have brembo's and enjoy shelling out thousands more regularly.

But who knows, it may work a treat and cut track times and improve corner speed not to mention great and safe performance on the road. One wonders if DSC off means ABD off as well.

When will ford have a injected gas setup?
