What does an open differential do?
Open differentials are the original solution to a universal problem. They allow the wheels to turn independently of each other, preventing wheel hop, vehicle instability and excess tire wear.
What is an open differential bad for?
When working properly, an open differential is the best riding, most comfortable option for everyday driving. The downside of the open differential becomes apparent when you are looking for maximum pull from the engine, as opposed to the highest rotational speed in the drive shaft.
Does Hyundai Genesis have limited slip differential?
A 6-speed manual gearbox is optional with the 2.0T RWD model, and an 8-speed automatic transmission is standard on all other models. A mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD) is standard on rear-drive models with the V-6 and optional on rear-drive four-cylinder models.
Is open diff good for drifting?
The only way to drift a open diff is maximum angle the less angle the car has to the turn the more the wheel with less grip is going to spin trying to get the car straight. That’s why open diffs don’t step out in a drift unless you flick the car very violently.

Can you do a donut with an open diff?
Certain things are possible with an open diff, big roundabouts being one of them. You’ll never get it to leave junctions sideways nor do donuts but it’s still possible to have some fun with. The advice about not learning on the road is a strong one though, especially with a less predictable open diff.
