AWD allows for superior control in a turn than RWD does. With rWd you can correct understeer with throttle or change the point of the nose travel through controlled rear slippage. But you can't control oversteer with RWD nor can you accelerate during a rear end slip.

With AWD you can do those things. You can use the gas to straighten out an oversteering car. You can induce oversteer if desired. Etc.

An LSD is an improvement over an open diff but it doesn't create throttle control at two ends of the car like AWD does.
