I think you may be confusing the V8 and A8?

 From <http://www.ibiblio.org/tkan/audi/usmodels.html>

Generation III (1990-94 Audi V8):
Open front differential; Planetary gear center with
electronically-controlled multi-plate locking clutch
(Torsen center differential with manual-transmission);
Torsen rear differential.

Generation IV (1996-curr Audi A8, S8)
Open front differential with EDL[1]; Torsen center
differential; Open rear differential with
[1] Electronic Differential Lock: uses ABS to selectively
brake a slipping wheel.
