Rear ELectronic Differnential

Hi All,
on 2010 Range ROver, there is an Option called "Rear ELectronic Differnential".
Whats does this feature do? SHould I buy that option for better off-road performance?

Thanks

Should be an electromagnetic Locker, ask your sale rep he should be able to correctly answer this..

I would recommend it, especially if you will take it off road. It will also help dramatically in snowy and icy conditions.

Scott,
thanks a lot. Will get it :)

Sales Rep? Come on, these guys don't know what a spark plug is.

The electronic differential has the same functionality and gear ratio as an open differential, but also incorporates a locking and torque biasing function to give improved traction performance and vehicle dynamic stability. The multi-plate clutch actively controls the torque flow through the differential and optimizes the torque distribution in the driveline. The clutch biases the torque from the differential to the wheel with the higher grip and prevents the wheel with the lower grip from spinning.
