That is not correct. It will be active ALL the time. The one press release reads like it is only active when traction control is deactivated, but that is not the meaning. They were listing it as a feature that remainds enabled during enthusiast driving.

It won't be quicker than a mechanical LSD. A mechanical LSD is instantaneous. The EDL (electronic differential lock) must recognize the condition first via the ABS sensors and then apply the brakes. While this happens in milliseconds, it cannot be faster than instantaneous.
