1. A system comprising:
a primary control module configured to determine at least one control action for at least one of an electronic limited slip differential and an aerodynamic actuator of a vehicle based on a driver command;
a desired vehicle dynamics module configured to determine a desired value of a vehicle dynamics characteristic based on the driver command,
wherein the primary control module is configured to determine the at least one control action based on the desired value of the vehicle dynamics characteristic using a vehicle dynamics model;
a stability status module configured to determine whether at least one component of the vehicle is stable or unstable based on an input from a sensor on the vehicle, the at least one component including at least one of a vehicle body, a front axle, a rear axle, front wheels, and rear wheels; and
a supervisory control module configured to adjust the at least one control action when the at least one component is unstable.
