MotoringFile expands on the elimination of the mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) on all 2010 models. MINI is dropping the LSD in favor of Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC) which will be standard on all JCW cars and optional on the Cooper S. MINI claims EDLC will do more and weigh less than the LSD unit. MotoringFile also tested the EDLC and found it has advantages but that some might miss the feeling of LSD.
