Limited Slip Rear....
I asked this in another thread and got no responses. I had heard that the SL65 comes with a Limited Slip Rear. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, do any of the other models come with a Limited Slip Rear? S65? S600? SL600?
Thanks for any info!

LSD comes with the SL65. from the factory. Yep. Absolutely. 
It is hit-and-miss with the other models, including with the 030 Performance Packages on other models. But the SL65 has one, standard.

SLK55 030 doesn't
SL65 comes stock with one ... CLS55 030 has LSD so does the SL55 030.
I believe these are the only 3 that either come with it or your can get on your car. (US don't know about other countries)
I believe the reasoning for the SLK55 030 to not have an LSD was because of the short wheelbase. AMG tested the vehicle with one and said it was too twitchy. I just recently read an article about a modified SLK55 (NA) around 400hp and they mentioned that the tuner had put in a LSD. The testers also found the car to be twitchy.
