2013 is the gimped version. We do have rear steering.
Torque vectoring

The Lexus RC F from my understanding is debuting the worlds first rear torque vectoring. Its on AWD cars and SUVs now. For a smaller car with over 450hp with its main intent to be performance, it makes sense and it will surely really add some spirit out of corners at high speeds.
For the GS I feel it would be overkill since it has 306hp. The rear wheel steering to me really compliments the GS.
I cannot figure out the method to Lexus F/F-sport madness since they all seem to offer different ways to apply sport. Some have torque vectoring, some rear steer option, some a LSD, some big brakes, some do not, etc etc.

I'm not sure about the m5 but I know it's available on the AWD X5M & X6M
It does, but it's an AWD car. I think the RCF is the first RWD car to offer it.

"Other details mentioned in the report include an Active M-Differential with torque vectoring between the rear wheel" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bmw_m5#...0.93present.29
But the RCF does that that screen which shows the torque split so I guess that makes it better

I think Mitsubishi or nissan debuted it ages ago. I know acura has it on awd cars but they have been stuck at 300hp since 2006..I know Porsche and BMW have it on high power awd SUVs.
Just read and it seems the M5 and Panamera GTS has some sort of rear torque vectoring so now I'm confused.

Is this a tarted-up phrase for limited slip differential? It looks like in the Porsche video they're using a standard stability control trick (selectively applying braking) in concert with an electronically controlled LSD in the rear diff.
From what Porsche showed, it sure looked like the "SH" stuff Acura has been doing forever.
