For the serious driver of any rear wheel-drive sports car, a limited slip differential (LSD) is a must, and the Scion FR-S coupe (as well as its Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 siblings) doesn’t disappoint offering a Torsen LSD as standard.

If you would like to know how a limited slip differential works and what it means in terms of handling and performance, Scion has prepared a short video explaining it in layman’s terms.

As a bonus, we have also added a brilliant video from Chevrolet that dates from the 1930s and which describes how a differential gear works.

Enjoy both clips right after the break.
