Default Sports differential....

Is there anywhere I can find more details about it? No real description in official websites. Is an Electronic differential? Has 3 settings?

And the most important question.... Is it worth it?
Im not going to track the car. Maybe some spirited driving once in a while. Also, some winter driving. Ive read some comments in the forum, but the arguments are not solid enough. Please help!

My car hasn't gone into production so Im guessing I may still be able to change the order.

Thank you all and merry Xmas.

Here's a video that explains it. No audio, though. It's well worth it if you like to do some spirited drives on country backroads with lots of curves. It also improves the steering turn in, even during casual daily driving, but if you mostly commute in your car and rarely drive a fun road, then you won't get the bang for the bucks.
