A drive system for a vehicle for variable distribution of torque, from a primary input and secondary input, between a left wheel and a right wheel of a vehicle, the drive system includes a first and second torque output shaft, one for each of the left wheel and the right wheel, an open differential, and independently controllable first and second clutch packs, configured such that: torque from the primary input is transferred to each of the torque output shafts via the clutch packs; torque from the secondary input is transferred to each of the torque output shafts via the open differential; torque from one output of the open differential is summed with torque from one clutch pack output in the first torque output shaft; and torque from another output of the open differential is summed with torque from the other clutch pack output in the second torque output shaft.
