Interesting export window sticker shows 3:55 Torsen

[Mazman]

It has 3:55 Torsen

Did the Asian cars get Torsen in the past as well. Reason I am saying Asian is because it says "Asia radio frequency". I think in e.g South Korea the cars are similar spec as the US ones.

On the other hand it says it has Mach-1 badges, 4.5" exhaust but further down it says GT performance pack, open air induction system but on the top it is says Dark Horse

And it obviously is a DH

I honestly wouldn't read too much into the Window Sticker of a pre-prod car..........or get your hopes up for a Torsen.

I've no idea if "Asian" S550s came with the Torsen though.....good question.

Also interesting to see this DH has the larger wing.......as you probably saw, the DH shown in the UK had the small lip spoiler.

There is not much I have hope for nowadays

It says Torsen differential on my order sheet.

I'd guess and say that because this is an export vehicle the sticker probably isn't reading accurate information simply because it probably doesn't exist yet.

Times past, there have been differences with exports. For example, while US models might have the Torsen as an option, EU models did not; they received a Traction Lock diff. Window stickers, pre-production and early into the MY are factors leading to the questioning of this car bound for Asia and if it actually has a Torsen.

I found these past and felt they gave a good rundown of both Torsen and plated LSD. Each design has their pros and cons. Depending on what the driver is attempting to accomplish, one type might be better suited for the car than the other.

Wasn't the 10AT always 3.55 and we just want the manual to get the 3.73 we never got?

Also: This is again the Gen 6 wing. I really hope we don't get the Gen 6 wing for the Dark Horse instead of the new Gen 7 wings, what the hell

In previous model years, this is my understanding...

US-spec automatics received a Torsen diff with 3.55 gearing. Manuals: a Torsen diff with 3.73 gearing.

EU/AU-spec, automatic or manual, were all Trac-Lok, 3.55 gearing.

Question is if it has Torsen 3:55 if so then hopefully the M6 will have 3:73 with Torsen.

This sticker at least give some hope(accuracy of it is highly questionable though). The A10 has had 3:55 with trac-lok in the past

I believe it's only the performance pack(M1\DH etc as well) that has Torsen in the US?

Reviewing the US 2022 and 2024 Order Guides and 2024 Tech Specs: yes. The US-spec GT w/PP, M1 and DH have the Torsen, 3.55 (Auto), 3.73 (Manual).

For 2024, US-spec GTs without the PP have Trac-Lok with 3.15 (Auto) and 3.55 (Manual).

For 2024, US-spec EBs without the PP have Trac-Lok, 3.15s. With PP: Torsen, 3.55s. An automatic transmission is the only option for either non-PP or PP spec.

* From this exchange, one can appreciate how difficult it is to receive tens of thousands of orders, each with the own unique selections, ship and stage parts, then schedule plant and personnel for assembly.

I am still kicking myself that I did not continue working for Scania where I would be working with production. Now I am working with ERP(SAP) and it sucks compared to being in the "heat". A friend of ours he is plant manager for one of the plants and everytime we speak I get jealous

I'm confused as to why this is "interesting". A10/355 Torsens have been standard forever, so what's the confusion?

Not in EU/AU

We have to this point not got the Torsen in any version of the 15+ Mustang. The M6 also come with 3:55 and not 3:73 in the PP/Bullitt/Mach 1

So there is no confusion ;), rather some hope
