Default Range Rover Limited Slip Options

Does Range Rover (or the Sport Model) offer a limited slip front axle option from the factory? I currently own a Jeep Grand Cherokee with limited slip in both front and rear axles. I am considering a Range Rover, but can't find detailed info on the axle configurations.
Thanks,
Doug

What year(s) of RR are you looking at? I am almost certain the newer RRs have auto locking differentials (front, rear, and center I believe). I know the LR3 has it as an option too. Mine even being as old as it is has a viscous coupling which is basically the same thing, or very similar to a limited slip center locker.

I'm interested in the 2005 and newer models. I believe what you are referring to is locking or transferring power to the axles, not the individual wheel. My current drive train can transfer the power to the individual wheel which still has traction. For example, if you were to slide off the road into a ditch with both rear wheels in mud and one front wheel on ice, the remaining front wheel would receive the power to get back on the road.
