Ferrari E-Diff

How does it work?

Ask McLaren.

It's an active limited slip diff. Each shaft is clutch driven, with the computer hydraulically adjusting the clutches to distribute torque between the two wheels depending upon its inputs (throttle position, acceleration in both planes, etc.)

I take it that means the clutch plates will eventually wear out/need replacing? It must be a bloody powerful (fast) acting computer/hydraulics package.

And I take it this is basically the same system used on the F1 cars (McLaren included ).

Oh, and did you know the McLaren Group are supplying ALL the cars on the grid next year with their electronics packages! This had to be sanctioned by the FIa who in turn had to be satisfied that they would be impartial! (McLaren Group Electronics are far and away the best in their field apparently).

Hmmm I bet that systems nice in a few years time! Normal plate lsd's are bad enough after a few years on the road!
