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

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
