The base-model Supra also forgoes the adaptive suspension that’s standard on the 3.0. Toyota claims the two-liter Supra weighs in at 3181 lbs, a weight savings of roughly 220 lbs. The loss of the eLSD shaved some weight off the rear, allowing the four-cylinder Supra to match the six-cylinder’s near-50-50 front-rear weight distribution. Both four- and six-cylinder Supras get an eight-speed automatic as their only gearbox choice."
Thanks. Given the conflicting things I have read, and the fact that there is no mechanical LSD offered on the Japanese versions (open or active), I will have to wait and see, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is an open diff with electronic differential lock aka individual wheel braking.

Pretty sure 2.0 BMWs like the 230i don't come with a mechanical LSD.
