Default (New to me) 2015 Audi A5. Which differential?

Sorry in advance if this question has been asked before. I just bought an 2015 Audi A5. It used to be that the answer was torsen. It was true for 20 years, except for the Audi TT's, which used Halex.
Let me just say I'm loving my Audi A5. I put 1,000 miles on it, and it drives unlike anything I've ever owned. I also got it cheap (I think). It's a 2015 Audi A5 Premium Plus S-line with Bang and Olufsen stereo. The car had 18,000 miles on it. I paid $29,000 for it. I believe the MSRP was north of $50,000.

Anyway, I believe that I have the Crown Gear center differential. Audi's with longitudinal engines used to have torsen. But Audi developed the Crown Gear differential. And then they went to the part time all wheel drive system that is definitely not Haldex but still made the loyalists upset.

So, my question is "Is the center differential on my 2015 Audi A5 the crown gear differential?"

thanks
