but this machine does not have a Sport differential GH2

this car have Basic differential GH1
I refusal to purchase.. my driving style mixed..I'm afraid not to get pleasure - no sport differential

no sport differential ? - no car..

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you have made up your mind already. Most members on here are from North America as far as I know. We get the sport differential standard in the RS5, so you may have a hard time finding somebody who can give you a report on how the RS5 drives w/o the sport differential.

However, I can tell you this. The RS5 has torque vectoring with or without the sport differential. The standard torque vectoring is a passive system using the brakes on all 4 wheels. The sport differential adds active torque vectoring on the rear axle on top of that.

Personally, I think the sport differential is what differentiates the current generation of Audis from the older generations. It's given these cars driving dynamics that we haven't seen before and I think a car like the RS5 should be bought with the sport differential.

My 2015 US RS5 came with the sports diff std. It is an option on 2014 S4. Would not have an Audi without it.

First I've heard of the sports diff being an option in any market on the RS5.

Was standard fare on the RS5 in Australia too.

It's been an option in Europe. Germany at least. Not sure why they don't make it standard everywhere. Seems like the RS models should have it standard. I guess they are taking a hint from Porsche.
