It's A Drift Monster!
A drift function officially called 'drift mode' will send up to 70% of power to the rear wheels, with 100% of power able to go to one wheel. All of this allowing for incredible pull out from corners:

Impressive Braking
To complement its power and overall performance, Ford has included a sophisticated high performance braking system with dedicated cooling ducts for improved cooling:
