    A limited-slip differential is a desirable feature because:

    • It splits engine torque between the front and rear wheels of an AWD vehicle, offering better traction.
    • It aids wheel spin, permitting smoky single-wheel burnouts.
    • It reduces the chance the clutch will slip, resulting in better power transfer.
    • It sends engine torque from a slipping wheel to one with traction, aiding launch characteristics.
