There seems to be increasing amounts of chatter...

about the merits of new Torsen differentials that are included in the high end automotive products being offered.

The chatter seems to revolve around the Type C Torsen.

Here is a link to a picture of the Type C Torsen.

Here is a link to some of the chatter.

Question... Is anyone here willing and able to articulate information about the differences between Torvec's Iso-torque and the Type C Torsen?

It seems that "The latest Torsen T-3 (Type C) is a planetary type differential, in that the intended torque split is not 50:50. The Type C is available as single or twin version, the Torsen twin C differential has front and center differential in the same unit."

Is there any need to become uncomfortable about the similarities of these two technologies?
