With VDC on, is it even possible to lose control of the car?

VDC does not only control acceleration. It can also brake individual wheels to pull a car that is losing control back in line.

Once, I was taking a corner in the rain and the back end started to slide. The car automatically braked the outside front wheel to keep the car from losing control. It was very neat to feel it working and there is no way that anyone can perform that type of car control manually as there is no way for a person to selectively apply the brakes to only one wheel.
DarkJak and Caustic like this.
