Traction shapes how a car puts power down on the road. The IM LS9 uses an advanced dual-motor AWD system to manage this. If you want to understand how the IM LS9 delivers power to the road, this article explains it clearly.
The IM LS9’s Dual-Motor Vector AWD System
The IM LS9 uses an 800V Dual-Motor Vector AWD system. This setup includes two motors, one for each axle, working together.
According to official specifications, this system delivers 390 kW of peak power and 670 Nm of peak torque.
What “Vector AWD” Generally Means
Vector-based AWD systems can adjust how much power goes to each wheel individually. This differs from a simple 50/50 power split between axles.
This kind of adjustment can support better traction during cornering or when road grip varies from wheel to wheel.
The Role of the 800V SiC Platform
The IM LS9 is built on an 800V SiC platform. This platform supports both the vehicle’s power delivery and its charging speed.
This higher voltage architecture is tied to the IM LS9’s fast 10-80% DC charging time of 16.5 minutes.
Why Platform Voltage Matters
A higher voltage platform can support faster energy transfer, both from the battery to the motors and from the charger to the battery.
This is one reason the IM LS9 pairs strong acceleration with relatively fast charging performance.
Acceleration and Power Delivery
The IM LS9 accelerates from 0-100 kph in 4.9 seconds, according to official specifications. This performance reflects the combined output of its dual-motor system.
Power delivery also connects to how the car feels during everyday acceleration, not just top performance figures.
How AWD Supports Everyday Driving
All-wheel drive distributes power across all four wheels. This can support more consistent acceleration across different road surfaces.
We avoid making claims about guaranteed traction in every condition. Weather, tire condition, and road surface all affect real-world results.
Chassis Coordination and Power Delivery
The IM LS9’s power delivery works alongside IM Digital Chassis 3.0. This system coordinates chassis components to support a more connected driving response.
Power delivery, steering, and suspension all interact during acceleration and cornering. Coordination between these systems supports smoother overall handling.
Efficiency Alongside Performance
The IM LS9’s specifications list an efficiency figure of 2.81 L/100km equivalent. This figure reflects a measured comparison used within official testing.
We recommend viewing efficiency figures as one part of a larger picture, alongside real-world driving habits and conditions.
Power Delivery Across Our IM Lineup
Drivetrain configurations vary across our current lineup. The 800V Dual-Motor Vector AWD system is specific to the IM LS9’s configuration.
We do not design or manufacture these drivetrain systems. As the official UAE distributor and retailer, we bring the engineered IM LS9 to our Dubai and Abu Dhabi showrooms.
