A gear unit includes an input shaft, output shafts and a differential having two planetary gearsets with a plurality of gearset elements. A first gearset element is connected to the input shaft, a second gearset element is connected to the first output shaft, and a third gearset element is connected to a gearset element of the second planetary gearset. A second gearset element of the second planetary gearset is connected to a housing, and a third gearset element of the second planetary gearset is connected to the second output shaft. A first output torque transmittable to the first output shaft. The gearset elements of the first planetary gearset and second planetary gearset have a helical toothing such that a torque is transmittable between the two output shafts.
