It has a sort of LSD, as below, not really necessary for a full on LSD as its probably the first and last time it will get that kind of treatment, plus, the tarmac was very rough and grippy.
"The rear axle features Dana’s Hydratrak® limited slip differential system, which utilises vane-pump principles to ensure continuous and seamless torque transmission to both rear wheels in the event of wheel speed differential."
The differential does have a limited-slip device but it's not the traditional cone/plate type which keener enthusiasts might enjoy. No bad thing, really, given such a device's tendency for sudden, mouth-drying, wet road oversteer, because the ZT 260 has no type of electronic stability control system. Instead, MG has chosen the Dana 'Hydratrak' LSD, as fitted to Holden HSVs and some TVRs, which is essentially a fluid pump that allows one wheel to slip whilst maintaining some drive to the other, so that you keep moving forward.
