"Das Antriebskonzept ermöglicht zudem ein gewolltes Lastübersteuern, wenn das xxx abgeschaltet und die xx-Taste gedrückt sowie die optionale Hinterachs-Quersperre installiert ist."
Description about an active all-wheel drive system in a new model of car. Would '...intentional oversteer...' be appropriate?
So far I have: "In addition, the drive concept permits **intentional oversteer** when xxx is switched off and the xx button is pressed, and the optional rear axle differential lock is installed."
I am a bit out of my comfort zone here.

throttle induced oversteer
Many Ghits.
Throttle induced oversteer possible with rear or all-wheel drive only. The locked or limited slip diff will boost the oversteer effect.

The picture shows me in a kart. Throttle induced oversteer is a favourite situation of race drivers and those who want to be. The pic was taken - as you may imagine - in a straight, not in a bend. Oversteer came a second later.

I forgot to mention - for the non-insiders - that karts have a straight rear axle, equivalent to a fully locked differential.
