Scion FR-S Limited Slip Differential Explained

The sweet limited slip differentials (LSDs)... the devices that help you stay on the road when you’re in a rush. Many carmakers have tired to popularize it and explain what it is that makes it so special and now it’s Scion’s time to do that.
The American carmakes has recently released a video that explains the Torsen LSD the FR-S uses to get off the line quicker and not go too sideways when the driver is flooring it through the bends. The clip doesn’t take things too far, so you certainly won’t become an expert in traction after watching it, but at least you’ll have some basic notions.

However, we really don’t approve the way in which the LSD is explained. Scion used an approach that fails to gather any interest, so you’d better grab your keys and experiment after watching the video.
