STABILITY AND CONTROL
Jaguar's stability systems keep F-TYPE well balanced whether you're driving enthusiastically or simply require the
assurance of a car that will remain stable in challenging conditions. To fully harness their performance potential,
and for greater control and traction, a Limited Slip Differential is fitted with the 3.0 litre V6 380PS engine and an
Electronic Active Differential is fitted with the 5.0 litre V8 550PS and 575PS engines.
Limited Slip Differential:
When a rear wheel has low grip, the Limited Slip Differential transfers torque through a
mechanically activated clutch pack to the wheel that has more grip. This limits slip across the axle, improving control
and traction for faster, more precise cornering.
Electronic Active Differential:
Has a higher locking torque capacity to exploit the increased power and torque of
the V8 engines. This differential works with the AWD system and Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) software,
as well as F-TYPE's traction and stability systems, to maximise traction and improve cornering control. Variable
electronic control allows this differential to continually adjust locking torque between the wheels – this gives sharper
turn in when entering corners and the ability to accelerate sooner when leaving corners because the torque at each
wheel is more controllable.
