VT, Viscous Traction.
There wasn't a mechanical gear center differential, only a viscous coupling clutch to connect the front differential to the rear drivetrain.

You'd figure if Lamborghini wanted a center differential, they could have used the design that Bugatti used in the EB110.
Very easy to do, both have the same 'South-North' engine-transmission location/layout.
