Well, i managed to simulate my 325ix with LFS and it's no truck, although it does outrun many of them in the snow/dirt....
 
 
 
Most modern cars are going the easy way, open diffs with ABS sensors doing double duty to brake spinning wheels. 
I believe this is how the new BMW 'xi' systems work. Audi's Quattro is one of the best systems today, imo . 
I believe it uses a Torsen as a center diff and EDL on the axles (Electronic Differential Locking, so again, ABS 
used to brake spinning wheel). The A3 doesn't use a true Quattro driveline, it's a Haldex system.
 
Although i can't wait for LFS to simulate a proper Torsen type differential, i'm not sure i want to see EDL. 
It's not so much simulating reality, as reality is simulating PCs...using computers to defy physics. 
I'm AM old-school though. 
 
 
There's nothing i like better than a longitudinal engine, RWD, sport coupe.
