HPA TouchMotion AWD Programmer for Gen.1 Haldex 4-motion Systems

Compatibility

Audi A3/S3 Quattro (Mk1), Audi TT Quattro (Mk1), Seat Leon 4, Seat Alhambra, Skoda Octavia 4×4, VW Golf R32 (Mk4), VW Bora AWD, VW Sharan AWD, VW Beetle RSi

The TouchMotion AWD Programmer (TMAP) from HPA Motorsports is a plug and play device compatible with Gen.1 Haldex 4-motion controllers. Designed to be fully compatible with both OEM or aftermarket installed Haldex 4-motion differential controllers, the TouchMotion plugs inline and hands control of the rear end behavior over to the driver.

HPA’s TouchMotion AWD Programmer consists of three main components. A trunk mounted control unit, a cable to connect the new controller inline, and a wireless touch screen interface.

The touch screen Interface features a live interactive display that tells the driver how much torque is being transmitted to the rear wheels at any time and offers access to a number of basic and advanced configurations. The touch screen is merely the user interface for the TMAP system and does not need to be present to run the controller as the controller will operate under the last user settings inputted.

TMAP7

Through the touch of the screen, a driver can select not only the preset operating modes of the differential such as Stock, Economy, Sport or Competition – they can go beyond with Dynamic and Race-Speed where they can individualize settings based on driving habits and needs.

TMAP-2

Under Race-Speed Mode, drag racers can digressively or progressively adjust rear engagement. Example: when launching AWD vehicles from prepared surfaces, typically some front wheel spin is desired to better facilitate engine acceleration prior to full rear wheel power transfer, avoiding engine bog. As the speed down the track increases, the rear differential engagement can be scaled straight back to reduce drag and increase top speed.

Under Dynamic Mode, drivers can configure which modes to toggle between and what the transitions will be triggered by. Example: set in Economy Mode for daily commuting, the driver wishes to toggle straight into an aggressive full torque transfer configuration and back, when overtaking a vehicle may be required.

TMAP4

Within Advanced Settings, oversteer compensation can be reduced for drivers that wish to enable more drift tendency, and engagement of differential under braking can be toggled on or off depending on driving style, comfort, or usage habits.

HPA has developed a tool that will allow the driver to tune the drivetrain to meet their specific needs.

The left graph represents all preset modes performing an acceleration run from 40mph to 110mph. The right graph represents Stock, Competition, and Race-Speed Modes; the top line represents overall wheel horsepower, while the lower lines differentiate between front wheel horsepower and rear wheel horsepower.

TouchMotion Performance Suite

HPA has developed additional software for the TouchMotion that will allow users to measure their 0-60mph and 1/4 mile times. This add-on option will allow owners to take the user interface from vehicle to vehicle (as a performance box) in addition to adjusting the differential controller installed in their car.

Pricing

TouchMotion with Performance Suite                US$749.00

TouchMotion excluding Performance Suite        US$699.00

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
