I get it. But they are just doing a publicity stunt. In the SLS the LSD is part of the transmission. It's the same unit as in my 458. The C63 will have conventional drivetrain, so it won't have a transaxle. Probably when MB PR guys saw that the C63 is getting an electronic type LSD, they decided to throw a SLS mentioning in their press release just because.
