Default Owner claims "Rear sport differential" but no Differential setting on drive select?

Hi Everybody!

I found an owner of a 2011 Audi S4 Premium Plus, and he says it has Rear Sport Differential.

But he also sends me the following picture of what drive select options there are:

-Engine
-Dynamic Steering
-Suspension

I have seen a video or a picture of a 2013 Audi that has the "Sport differential" setting...if this car really has the Rear sport differential, shouldn't that be reflected in this picture (attached).

Thank you!

Can you get Drive Select package without Rear Differential? I thought these two come together.

Hey M444, thanks for the pic. Which part signifies it's the sport differential?

And yes, I had originally thoguht that the pic I posted was of the guy's car, because that is the pic he texted me. But after posting on this forum, I asked him where he got the pic from, and he said Audi's website, and they his car is indeed a sport differential.

So I will have to check thanks to all of your help!

In regards to Audi Drive Select vs Sport Differential: I know the sport differential package comes with a few drive select options, whereas the official Audi Drive Select package comes with all options.

Where is that pic on the Audi website? It looks like a photo, not the artist's renditions they have on the website.
