ACD = active center differential. Mitsubishi has a center diff that has 3 modes of torque transfer between the front and rear differentails. Tarmac, which sends more torque rearward. Gravel which keeps it around 50/50 . Snow, which sends more frontward.
These settings can help if you need more or less under/oversteer.
Due to the center diff having to house clutch like plates to vary the torque the diff has the downside of weight and the side effect of being electronic not mechanical in feeling.
Anyone want to add anything to that?

ACD and AYC are two completely different things. The only thing they have in common is that they suck in the sense that they add weight to the car and make the driving experience more of an Audi one 
Evo 7 RS come with ACD and no AYC.
Evo 7 RS2 and GSR come with ACD and AYC.
No Evo 7 comes without ACD.
The Lancer Evolution will come without AYC, thank God and Mitsubishi for that!
