With an ordinary open differential, standard on most cars, a lot of precious power is wasted during wheelspin under acceleration.This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip (along the path of least resistance). The Quaife, however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has the better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel.
Different mechanics, sort of works in the same fashion at least from what I can understand as a VTD for two wheels, without retarding the traction of the other. I am not saying it is totally better, just different. However for the SVX, it may achieve great results in handling without losing the traction or you might even gain a bit more whp and torque.
