DIFFERENTIAL QUESTION

[TOM IAEGER]

I own a 2011 Genesis 4.6 sedan. Love the car, but, even with "traction control" and judicious use of the manual control for the automatic transmission (pulling out--slipping out??--in second, for example), it is crappy at best in snow. I find it hard to believe that Hyundai would build a car of this caliber with rear wheel drive and no mechanical limited slip differential, and, had I been smart enough to check before the purchase and to not just assume that was so equipped, I would not have chosen it.

I know that the 5.0 R-Spec of that generation was equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential, but I am much more interested in the next generation, specifically the 2016 5.0 V-8 sedan. I can find nothing on the internet that refers to a mechanical limited slip rear for the 2015-2016 generation.....can anyone help to clear up my question?

Thank you!

You can get AWD or a peg leg, no other options.
