Cl600 diff

I've noticed that however I launch I suffer from the one wheel peel. It's always losing traction on one wheel. Surely it's supposed to have some sort of lsd. I know it's not electrically controlled as there are no wires going to rear diff . So can't be controlled by the stability control. Is my diff broken or does it just need upgrading? Thanks

Sadly it's an open diff - no LSD.

Traction control is just done electronically with the brakes.
