I am looking to replace my 2011 A4 quattro with a (2013 ish) S5 and I would love to have the torque vectoring differential.
Is there a way of knowing that a car has this option when looking through pictures on cargurus, autotrader etc? Was it a stand alone option or did it include other things that would be a give away when looking through pictures?
I know in person the setting will be in the MMI and the diff itself looks different than what is on my A4 but I am trying to avoid a lot of wasted time calling dealers or traveling to see a car that I don't want.

Any advice on trying to find one?

Thanks!

Other than them stating it....it's going to be a crapshoot I think. You could always run the VIN to see what the original equipment listed on the Monroney is. That will tell you and could save you some time.....

That's perfect! thank you. I thought that information was only available on a build sheet, nice to see you can get it through the VIN now.

Hmm... This link didn't do anything for my VIN. It just seems to time out.

When shopping for my S5, every (Audi) dealer was able to email me a copy of the original sticker, which listed the sport diff as a separate option if it had it.

Yeah that link seems to be hit and miss.

I was trying to avoid the hassle of actually contacting dealerships if it was for something that I could potentially figure out myself.

Agreed, I always try to email first instead of giving out my number. They usually also have a way to message them from their website.
