Prodrive has developed a new system that can actively manipulate the toe angle of the rear wheels on front-wheel-drive cars so handling limits can be increased on the fly. The system, named "Active Toe Control," has the ability to make a standard twist beam rear suspension behave more like a complex multi-link arrangement by changing the wheel's angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle (i.e. toe). Prodrive is actively pursuing a partnership to develop the system and believes that it can increase safety and handling performance at a fraction of the cost of newer, more expensive multi-link setups.
All the details are available in Prodrive's press release after the jump.
