Différentiel actif. Piloté par l'électronique, ce type de différentiel envoie la puissance sur les roues disposant de la meilleure adhérence. Sur certains modèles [de voitures], il est aussi capable d’accélérer la roue arrière extérieure au virage. Il est ainsi possible d’éviter le sous-virage pour améliorer l'agilité et retarder l'action de l'antidérapage. 1, record 1, French, - diff%C3%A9rentiel%20actif
