Will the R have the VAQ differential for the front axle?

So many reviews of the GTI are praising the VAQ differential. Does anyone know if they Golf R will include it as well in addition to whatever they do to drive the rear wheels?

Looks like I found my answer. It will use the old ABS style as before.

In addition, the Golf R is equipped with the cross differential lock (XDS) at the front and rear axles. In the latest version, known as XDS+, this functionality is applied to a larger range of dynamic performance, making the vehicle more agile. When the car is being driven fast, brake pressure is applied to the inside wheel to restore optimal traction as soon as the electronics detect excessively light loads. XDS+ thereby operates as a transverse differential lock that compensates for understeer during fast cornering.
