An LSD can be a lot of fun in the right hands and the right driving situations. For example on a beautiful alpine pass road out of the curves with throttle.
I think Morgan doesn't offer it on CX cars because it is far too dangerous for the average rider in more normal situations.
CX Morgans have no protective electronics. When such a light car with so much power has LSD, you can spin on your own axis when accelerating on a slightly wet but even straight road. It only needs to be different grip on the left and right just for a moment.
Why I know this so well: It happened exactly the same way to me with my Honda S2000 with 80% LSD 17 years ago. It came out of nowhere and without any warning at all. The speed was not very fast, around 40 mph. Fortunately, no car came towards me and it had just gone out without damage. The two cars are comparable because both are without electronic driving aids. Only that the CX with its stronger power-to-weight ratio would say goodbye even sooner.
Hi Heinz
I also drive a Caterham with 500bhp/ton on the road and track and then the LSD comes in handy to put the power down in bad conditions and to find grip coming out of the corners. I have also had a brown underpants moment when the car suddenly lost traction on a painted marker but if your react quick enough it scares you a bit but you'll learn from it. I'm planning to drive the Moggie all year so I was a bit afraid that because most Morgans are only driven in good conditions that it would be quite a handful in bad weather. After speaking with the factory my conclusion is to put winter tires on in the winter and see how it goes. If I come to the conclusion that it would benefit from an LSD I will ask a specialist to install one later on.
