    Nice but the B8.5 DSG does not have a Torsen Quattro any more. It has a Crown Quattro. Which is much better they say. The manual's still have the torsen Quattro. Crown with sports diff = awesome driving

    Crown differential mainly allows electronic control of the bias.

    They replaced the center torsen diff with one that you can control electronically with clutches. And give you more power transfer over the torsen one.

    But the piece in the video still functions the same, the Crown just gives the ability to have more direct electronic control over the split, for any purpose at all.

    The audi torsen center diff is a 50/50 split normally isn't it? not the 60/40 like the crown under normal operation

    Nope, the Torsen was 60/40, as well. The rear differential that's listed in the video above is the 50/50 split, but front-to-back is not an equal split.
