PalmliXsays...Now that's some skill, especially the 'look ma no-hands' at the end.
mysdrialWhat kind of drive is this? Neither the front nor back wheel that are up are turning?
SWBStXsays...I'm not sure what the technical term for it is. Independent wheel drivetrain something or another. I've only ever seen or heard of it on off-roading vehicles but the concept is that the system senses when a wheel is no longer in contact with a surface and will then stop powering that particular wheel and instead divert the power to the ones still in contact with the ground. It's a pretty cool idea but I never would have guessed to see it on a Hyundai sedan. I'm fairly certain that's not a stock option on that model...

dhdigitalsays...rough Youtube translation:
"name of God the Merciful .. Just a short film .. filming and directed: (Meso - photo) .. Assistant director: (ar5meds) CAM (Canon - 7D) .. Lenses used [17.50] .. [70-200] .. [10-20] all thanks to the staff .. + (Alastaaaz) watch the fun"
AeroMechanicalsays...That's generally how limited slip differentials work, it keeps a wheel with no traction from getting all the torque as would happen with an open differential, but the wheel would still spin, just at a speed no greater than the other one (I think). This must be some kind of design particular do doing this sort of thing. It would be interesting to know exactly.
edit: Of course, the question is, why is it so important that the free wheel doesn't spin? If it's not, then I'm just totally misunderstanding the mechanics of it.

csnel3says...this proves that wearing a long scarf while doing stuff is is semi-retarded.
PaybackI get why people steal wheels, but if you already have the car driving...
mxxconThis doesn't deserve *eia for doing it on public roads?
siftbotInvocations (eia) cannot be called by mxxcon because mxxcon is not privileged - sorry.
chingaleraThe fact that we live in an epoch where a traditionally nomadic peoples recently enthroned by nature of the resources beneath their feet have the leisure to outfit their shorts with locking differentials and perform stunts on empty highways in the desert is testament enough to this being an excellent example of the *eia (evolution in action) of the entire human race.

Locking differential + squishy tires + low center of gravity + practice, even a Saudi without a real job can do it with a little practice.
Allah is indeed, Merciful
