The Audi S4

The Audi S4 is a car of pure sports character! Its beautiful design and blistering power mark it as a car of serious open air intent. But this is no showy pony. The premium heritage of Audi is displayed in every detail and is the elegance of line, the opulent interior and an understated styling that belies the horsepower beneath.

With a new design and a more widespread equipment specification, the top sports form in the A4 range, the S4 with a powerful 344 bhp V8 engine, is about to be begin. Its permanent quattro four-wheel drive and consistently sport-tuned aluminum suspension guarantee that this power can be converted into maximum forward thrust and driving pleasure. The new S4 is available in both Saloon and Avant versions.

The S versions of the new A4 generation are likewise immediately recognizable: the front end is conquered by the new face of the product, the single-frame grille - in this case with S-specific grid mold - and newly styled headlights. The shoulder stripe sculpts the sides of the car body in a most eye-catching means. And, finally, the most prominent feature on the new tail end, apart from the newly styled light units, are four oval tailpipes on both Saloon and Avant models - a clear suggestion of just what the Audi S4 is capable of.

The V8 engine, with chain drive at the stern and a displacement of 4.2 liters, delivers 344 bhp and 303 lb-ft of torque. It accordingly sets clear benchmarks in its segment: a benchmark for ultimate and even development of power resulting from the large swept volume, and a benchmark for unique handling.
The power-to-weight relation of this model is just 4.8 kilograms/horsepower. The eight-cylinder engine's thrust thus enables the new Audi S4 with its new 6 speed manual gearbox to complete the run from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.6 seconds. It takes just 20.6 seconds to reach 125 mph, whilst its top speed is capped at 155mph.

The new S4 is the only vehicle in its class that has quattro permanent four-wheel drive. It can therefore transfer its engine output into propulsive power most efficiently at all times and enter a new dimension of dominance thanks to the handling potential of its aluminum chassis.

Steering with a tremendously direct ratio means that the S4 can be guided entirely precise around all kinds of curves.

The Audi S4 also offers other qualities that have already become a well-known feature of the S models with the four-ring badge. It is consequently positioned as the top sports model in the A4 line, and not only in terms of power and performance - its equipment specification and materials of the highest quality underpin this status.

The S4 is also notable for its unique combination of unmistakable style and sporting exclusivity, of individuality and versatility. Available as both a Saloon and an Avant, it offers its owner distinctive everyday quality, too.
