LSD in cars refers to the Limited Slip Differential. The function of the limited slip differential is: when the driving wheels of the vehicle spin, the limited slip differential will control the power output of the two wheels to prevent the spinning wheel from continuing to spin, ensuring that the wheels have sufficient power to help the vehicle move forward. It is an improved differential that limits wheel slip, meaning the speed difference between the two driving wheels is allowed within a certain range to ensure normal turning and driving performance. The function of the limited slip differential is to transfer power to the outer wheel as much as possible when accelerating through a curve, where output torque and centrifugal force force the inner wheel to lift off the ground or cause slippage, helping the driver increase the speed through the curve and enhancing handling performance.
