Default Torque Vectoring

Does the regular 2012 NWB A8 has Torque vectoring? or does it only come with the Sports diferential.

I am coming out of a 2011 Panmera Turbo, without PTV and find that on high speed taking a curve the A8 seems to have less understeer.

Curious why you moved out of the Panamera Turbo?

Panamera Turbo was excellent but the dealer ship was 350 miles away. Therefore problems would need to wait until when I would be able to drive there. This caused frustration with minor issues ie noises from the cabin, alignment etc.

I went up for the 10k service for the Panny, no plan to change the car. Just went to the Audi dealership to kill time and saw this Blue NWB A8 with the Audi design interior. The quite drive, interior quality and the tech with a substantially lower lease payment had me sold.
