The Audi S4 is the loftier functioning variant of Audi's compact executive car A4. The original Audi S4, built from 1991 until 1994, was a performance-oriented version of Audi'south 100 saloon/sedan. All subsequent S4s since 1997 have been based on the Audi A4; and as the A4 has evolved from ane generation to the next, so has the S4.
A more powerful internal combustion engine, larger upgraded brakes, firmer break, larger wheels, and distinctive sheetmetal, styling clues and badging have always been amongst the many upgrades the S4 receives over its mainstream 100 and A4 siblings. In markets where the fifty-fifty college-performance Audi RS four is non offered, the S4 is the elevation-of-the-line trim of the A4 family.[1] [2]
Like its regular A4 counterpart, all S4 variants have had longitudinally oriented, front-mounted engines. A single turbocharged 2.2-litre inline v-cylinder powered the original C4 version, and a 2.seven-litre twin turbocharged V6 engine was constitute in the B5 generation. The B6 and B7 versions shared a common 4.2-litre V8 engine, the get-go time that a V8 engine was placed in a compact executive car, placing it in direct contest with the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG which at the time had a iii.ii L inline six. The B8 generation uses a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine and competes with the both BMW 335i and BMW 335i/340i xDrive, and Mercedes-Benz C350.[one] The recently introduced B9 generation is powered past a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine, every bit opposed to a supercharger like in the previous iteration. This current generation competes with the BMW M340i xDrive and Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG/Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC.[3] [4]
All versions of the S4 take their transmission mounted immediately at the rear of the engine in a longitudinal orientation, in the grade of a transaxle, and like all Audi "Due south" cars, are only available as standard with Audi'due south quattro all-bicycle drive (AWD) system, using a Torsen-based centre differential system.[5]
All versions of the S4 accept been manufactured at Audi'due south found in Ingolstadt, Germany; they are, or take been bachelor equally a four-door five-seat saloon and a 5-door v-seat Avant (Audi's name for an estate automobile/station wagon) body styles since the model'south inception in 1991. A ii-door four-seat Cabriolet (convertible) S4 variant was introduced as part of the B6 and B7 generation A4 lineups. The B8 Cabriolet has at present been built off the A5 coupe body fashion and the "S" variant is marketed under the Audi S5 nameplate.

Manufacturing plant product of the original Audi S4 ( Typ 4A), unremarkably known equally Audi 100 S4, began in August 1991 to serve as the performance version of the newly updated C4 platform 100 4-door, v-seat saloon. It was designed to supervene upon the outgoing C3 based Audi 200 quattro turbo, which had been Audi's commencement true sports-saloon and had been discontinued at the end of 1990.[6] [7] Being the first S4 model from Audi, it is commonly referred to as the Ur-S4, derived from the High german: Ursprünglich augmentive give-and-take (pregnant: original).
Audi mildly updated the C4-based model line in 1994 and dropped the 100 nomenclature; all variants of the sometime Audi 100 line were now re-badged as the Audi A6. In line with the switch in model proper noun, Audi temporarily discontinued the use of the S4 name and began selling an updated just fundamentally identical version of the car, based on the "new" A6 and badged as S6. Despite the change in name, differences betwixt the outgoing S4 and incoming S6 were primarily cosmetic.
A more powerful, more expensive and more exclusive variant known first every bit the S4 Plus and later on as the S6 Plus was available from Oct 1992 through to July 1994.[5] Built in very small numbers, the "Plus" models featured numerous operation enhancing upgrades; including the apply of Audi'due south 4.2-litre V8 engine in place of the then current inline-five engine.
An all-new C5-based Audi A6 debuted for 1997, after which the S4 and S6 became distinctly separate models based on very unlike platforms.
The C4 variant S4 ended mill production later on less than three years in July 1994.[5]
One of its virtually renowned owners was Ayrton Senna who endemic a silver Avant,[8] not least considering he was the Audi distributor for Brazil.
C4 powertrain [edit]
In standard form, the powertrain item of the C4-based S4 was available with merely one engine, a single turbocharged and intercooled version of Audi'due south two.two-litre 20-valve inline v-cylinder engine This displaced 2,226 cubic centimetres (135.8 cu in) and was equipped with an avant-garde Bosch Motronic electronic engine control unit of measurement (ECU).[v] This engine (parts lawmaking prefix: 034, identification code: AAN), developed a motive power output of 169 kilowatts (230 PS; 227 bhp) at 5,900 revolutions per minute (rpm) and 350 newton-metres (258 lbf⋅ft) of torque one,950 rpm.[5] This powerplant made it rather powerful by contemporary standards, and the vehicle with five-speed transmission manual was able to accelerate from standstill to 100 kilometres per hour (62.1 mph) in half-dozen.2 seconds.
Both 5- and six-speed manual transmissions (parts code prefix: 01E, identification codes: 5-speed: CBD, CET, half dozen-speed: CBL, CMG) were offered to European customers, merely a 5-speed manual was the only transmission available in Northward America; a four-speed automatic transmission (parts lawmaking prefix: 01F, identification code: CBF) was bachelor as an option worldwide.[5] Front and rear axle final bulldoze ratio is either 4.111 or three.889 (dependent on transmission blazon), and the rear axle (parts code prefix: 017, identification codes: AAT, AET) uses a commuter-selectable electro-pneumatic-mechanical switchable diff lock.[5]
Audi'south quattro four-wheel-drive system was standard on the C4 S4/S6; a outset-generation Torsen-based system which used the "T-1" automatically biasing centre differential (ATB) was used on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, while a transfer box based system was used on vehicles equipped with an automated transmission.[5]
S4/S6 "Plus" models equipped with a 4.2-litre 206 kilowatts (280 PS; 276 bhp) all-aluminium blend V8 engine (parts code prefix: 077, identification code: ABH) became bachelor to European customers every bit an option from October 1992, only with the six-speed manual gearbox, in either saloon or Avant body styles.[5]
C4 steering, brakes, wheels & tires [edit]
All C4 S4s' came equipped as standard with a conventional fixed-assistance rack and pinion power assisted steering (PAS) system. An electronically controlled 'servotronic' system, which varied the level of assistance in accord with the road speed, was bachelor as an option.[5]
There were two unlike types of high performance brake systems on offer for the C4 S4.[5] All S4s' initially had 310 mm (12.20 in) diameter by 25 mm (0.984 in) thick, radially ventilated disc brakes up front, each with an ATE single-piston sliding caliper inside a 'UFO' styled bell-shaped disc. With the introduction of the V8 engine, a new front brake setup became standard; over again the discs used radial ventilation, but these forepart discs were at present sized at 314 mm (12.36 in) by 30 mm (1.181 in) - with a conventionally mounted Lucas-Girling caliper in an external position over the disc. United states models had smaller 276 mm (x.87 in) discs. The rear brakes, 269 mm (10.59 in) by xx mm (0.787 in) and as well radially ventilated - remained the same throughout C4 production; they used a Lucas-Girling unmarried-piston sliding caliper with an integrated cable-actuated handbrake mechanism. A Bosch three-aqueduct performance (four-channel sensing) Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with a mechanical load sensing valve for the rear brakes was standard throughout product.[five]
For bicycle options, the standard five-arm "Fuchs" forged alloy wheels were 8.0Jx16H2 ET40, and were shod with 225/l R16 sized tyres. Several other tyre and bike designs were optionally available: a seven.5Jx15H2 ET40 vi-spoke with 215/60 R15 tyres, an 8.0Jx16H2 ET40 5-double-spoke, a 7.5Jx16H2 ET35 six spoke "Avus", and an 8.0Jx17H2 ET40 ten-spoke.[5]

The second generation S4 ( Type 8D), likewise known as the Audi S4 quattro debuted in 1997, with mill product commencing October 1997,[5] as part of the facelifted B5 platform Audi A4 line-up, although it wasn't bachelor in North America until tardily 1999.
In addition to the saloon (sedan), an estate version (wagon)–the Audi S4 Avant–was introduced into the lineup from 1998. Production of the B5 S4 ceased in September 2001,[5] although it was notwithstanding sold together with the next B6 platform generation through 2002 in North America. Examples produced July 2001 to end of product are 2002 Model Year cars, the 10th digit of the VIN being the number "ii".
Several years later on it was sold new, the B5 S4 remains a potent enthusiast auto, and every bit featured in the Dec 2007 upshot of Sport Compact Auto mag, a Torque Mill tuned S4 won a comparison test against several other farthermost performance cars.[9]
B5 powertrain [edit]
The powertrain details[5] of the B5 S4 feature a ii.seven-litre twin-turbo ('biturbo') 90° third-generation V6 engine (parts lawmaking prefix: 078, identification codes: AGB, AZB, APB). Details of the powerplant include a cast fe cylinder cake with two lightweight aluminium alloy cylinder heads. The valvetrain includes 30 valves (five valves per cylinder),[10] [eleven] twin hybrid-driven (timing belt and roller concatenation) double overhead camshafts and variable valve timing for the inlet valves. The intake air is pressurized past 2 parallel water-cooled BorgWarner K03-series turbochargers; the charged air is cooled past two side-mounted air-to-air intercoolers (SMICs). It displaces two,671 cubic centimetres (163.0 cu in), and is rated to produce a motive ability output of 195 kW (265 PS; 261 bhp) at 5,800 rpm, and generates 400 N⋅m (295 lbf⋅ft) of torque at one,850 rpm. Engine management was past way of a Bosch Motronic ME vii.ane (seven.0 in N America) electronic engine control unit (ECU), and helped it run into the European EU-3D emissions standard. In all United states of america-market place cars, the engine was detuned to see U.s. emissions regulations; output was reduced to 184 kW (250 PS; 247 hp) and 350 North⋅m (258 lbf⋅ft) (identification code: APB).
Equally in the previous S4, a 6-speed C90 manual transmission (parts code prefix: 01E, identification code: DSY, gear ratios: 1st: 3.500, 2nd: ane.889, 3rd: 1.231, 4th: 0.967, 5th: 0.806, 6th: 0.684) was standard equipment, as was the Torsen T-2 quattro permanent all-bicycle drive system. Final drive (parts lawmaking prefix: 01H, identification code: DQA) ratio is 4.111. A five-speed ZF 5HP19 tiptronic automatic transmission (parts code prefix: 01V) became available for the start time as an selection.[five]
The B5 S4 claims acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0.0 to 62.1 mph) in 5.7 seconds, and has an electronically limited height speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph), making it both the quickest saloon/sedan in the Audi model line, and amongst the quickest saloon/sedans in the world at that fourth dimension.[ citation needed ]
B5 interruption, brakes, wheels & tires [edit]
The B5 S4 is fitted with 4-wheel independent break. The front end interruption is a multi-link design with four individual control artillery per bike. The rear suspension is an unequal length double wishbone design; the lower control artillery are mounted to a subframe which too carries the differential housing. Shock absorbers, ringlet springs, and anti-whorl bars are fitted front and rear.
The B5 S4 brake arrangement[five] consisted of radially ventilated discs, 321 mm (12.64 in) in diameter by 30 mm (1.18 in) thick up front end, and 256 mm (10.08 in) by 22 mm (0.87 in) at the rear. Two-piston Lucas HP2 brake calipers at the front (with four pads per caliper), with Lucas single-piston sliding brake calipers at the rear. A Bosch ABS 5.three iv-channel Anti-lock Braking System (with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) - and later with ESP or Electronic Stability Program), coupled with a vacuum servo completed the system.
Standard wheels[5] were Audi'south die-cast aluminium blend six-arm 'Avus' 7.5Jx17H2 ET45 wheels, shod with 225/45 ZR17 performance tyres.
B5 colors & optional equipment [edit]
Available exterior colors included Brilliant Black, Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation Scarlet, Lite Silver, Cactus Dark-green, Santorin Blue, Hibiscus Ruby-red, Casablanca White, Pearlescent White, Imola Yellow (spicy mustard), and Nogaro Bluish. The last two colors were sectional to the S4 model. Interior leather was available in Onyx or Silvery. Available options included:
- Bose premium sound arrangement
- Audi Navigation System
- half dozen-disc CD changer
- Hands free Motorola cellular telephone
- Premium Package: Sunroof, HomeLink transmitter, Auto dimming mirrors
- Cold Weather Package: Heated forepart seats, Heated exterior mirrors, Expandable ski sack
- Enhanced Sport Parcel: Alcantara seat inserts, Silver aluminum belt line trim or Carbon Fibre trim (on late 2000-2001 models), Aluminum mirror housings (on 2001 & 2002 models)
The Sport Packet replaced the forest-grain belt line trim with silver aluminum trim, and the wood grain finish around the shifter with black plastic. The Alcantara seat inserts were silver (on Onyx leather). With the blackness, white, or blue exteriors, the inserts were also available in blue Alcantara. On the early 2000 models, the Alcantara inserts in the rear seats did not fully extend forward to the front end edge of the seat.
B5 motorsport [edit]
A motor racing version of the car accomplished bully success in the SpeedVision Earth Challenge with Michael Galati taking the 2001 SpeedVision GT title in a Champion Racing S4, winning 4 races, and helping Audi to its start Manufacturers' Title.
The Audi Sport specification Champion A4 chassis included a B5 RS4 engine, and Alcon racing brake calipers (4 piston front end and 2 piston rear calipers).
Don Istook, with Istook's Motorsports, built and campaigned several B5 S4's in first the Motorola Loving cup, and and then the Grand Am Loving cup. The S4's were even raced by Istook'southward Motorsports in the Rolex GT category for several races to help fill the field. Of annotation, ane of the S4's, racing confronting truthful GT cars, fifty-fifty ran every bit high every bit 2nd identify (in the pelting) at Barber Motorsports Park.[ citation needed ] These S4'south were built using existing S4, not RS4 engines, but used the B5 Audi RS4 K04 turbochargers.

2003–2005 S4 (B6) saloon (The states)
MY2003–2005 Audi S4 (B6) Avant (Canada)
The third generation Audi S4 quattro ( Typ 8E — saloon: 8E2, Avant: 8E5, and Cabriolet: 8H7) debuted its saloon and Avant bodystyles in Europe in March 2003,[five] and appeared in Northward America slightly later.[ when? ] This was based on the latest Volkswagen Grouping B6 (PL46) platform used by the and then current Audi B6 A4. Despite having moved to an entirely new platform, one of the S4's nigh publicised new features was its new engine - a 4.2-litre V8 engine. Following its initial launch of either a four-door five-seat saloon (sedan), or a v-door five-seat Avant (estate/railroad vehicle), it eventually became bachelor in 3 bodystyles - and for the offset fourth dimension in the Audi 'Due south' car range, from Feb 2004, a two-door four-seat Cabriolet (convertible), Typ 8H, was included in the model range.[12]
Official performance figures for standard discipline of sprinting from standstill to 100 km/h (62.ane mph) in the saloon with manual manual are 5.6 seconds (Avant five.8 southward, Cabriolet 5.9 s), however, a road test conducted by the American automotive mag Motor Trend [13] indicated that information technology could go from a standstill to 60 mph (96.6 km/h) in less than 5 seconds, and go far to 200 km/h (124.3 mph) in slightly over 20 seconds, although doing this led to fuel consumption dipping into single digits. This was considerably worse than the earlier V6 models, leading to the addition of a $1,700 gas guzzler tax (combined 20.two miles per US gallon (eleven.6 L/100 km; 24.iii mpg‑imp)) for the 6-speed manual sedan in the United States. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph).
The B6 S4 saloon and Avant variants ceased mill production in December 2004, with the Cabriolet ending twelve months later on at December 2005.[5]
B6 powertrain [edit]
Replacing the 2.seven-litre 'biturbo' V6 engine of the previous generation B5 S4, the new B6 S4 powertrain[5] gained an all-aluminium alloy 4.2-litre, 40 valve (five valves per cylinder) V8 engine (parts code prefix: 079.C, identification code: BBK), with concatenation-driven double overhead camshafts, roller-finger rocker arm cam followers, and included variable inlet camshaft timing. It likewise used a strengthened alloy crankshaft bedplate for the five main bearings, and a 2-part baffled oil sump, and a calorie-free-alloy variable intake manifold (VIM), containing the fractionally sequentially actuated fuel injectors. This petrol engine, based on the unit from the Audi A8, displaces iv,163 cubic centimetres (254.0 cu in), and information technology produces a motive ability output of 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) at 7,000 rpm, and generates torque of 410 Northward⋅yard (302 lbf⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm, making information technology more powerful than the RS2 Avant, and nearly equally powerful as the B5 RS4. Engine direction was by way of a Bosch Motronic ME seven.1.1 electronic engine control unit (ECU), using a Bosch 'East-Gas' drive by wire electronic throttle, and powering viii individual spark coils with longlife quad-electrode Bosch spark plugs. Ignition timing is a mapped direct ignition, with cylinder-selective knock control with the help of four knock sensors. The frazzle system includes vacuum-operated valves in the twin rear silencers (mufflers), finished with chrome plated tail-pipes.
Similar its predecessors, the B6 S4 was standard with a Getrag six-speed (M6S) manual transmission (parts code prefix: 0A3, identification codes: FVD, HEP) (gear ratios - 1st: 3.667, second: 2.050, 3rd: 1.462, 4th: one.133, fifth: 0.919, 6th: 0.778),[five] with a 240 mm (9.4 in) single plate dry clutch, and Torsen T-2 quattro permanent 4-wheel drive system. Final drive (parts code prefix: 01R, identification code: EXZ) ratios are 3.889,[5] giving a tiptop gear road speed to engine revs ratio of 24.4 miles per hr (39.three km/h) per k rpm. From July 2003,[v] the ZF 6HP19 tiptronic automatic manual (parts code prefix: 09L, identification codes: GUR, HHU) (ratios - 1st: 4.171, 2d: 2.340, 3rd: i.521, fourth: 1.143, 5th: 0.867, 6th: 0.691, with a last bulldoze (identification lawmaking: GDF) ratio of 3.539) was included as an selection.
An unusual sight in the engine compartment was the add-on of water cooling for the 190 amp alternator,[5] forth with ii additional thermostatically-controlled side-mounted radiators.[five]
B6 steering, brakes, wheels & tyres [edit]
The B6 S4 came equipped with electronically controlled, variable assisted 'servotronic' rack and pinion power assisted steering (PAS) as standard.[v]
B6 S4 brakes[five] consisted of radially ventilated disc brakes front and rear. The front discs are sized at 345 mm (13.58 in) in diameter by xxx mm (one.181 in) thick, and are clamped past Continental Teves-ATE FNRG-60 single-piston sliding brake calipers. The rears are 300 mm (11.81 in) by 22 mm (0.866 in), and again use single-piston sliding calipers, with an integrated cablevision-operated mitt brake machinery. A Bosch ESP 5.7 Electronic Stability Program system, consummate with Anti-lock Braking Arrangement (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Restriction Assist (EBA), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) - also known equally traction control system, coupled with a dual-rate tandem vacuum servo provided the brake actuation.
Standard wheels[5] were 'Avus-III dice-cast aluminium alloy, eight.0Jx18H2 ET45 in size, and shod with 235/40 ZR18 95Y XL (actress Load) high performance tyres, with factory supplies beingness either Continental SportContact2 or Michelin PilotSport PS2.
B6 body & interior [edit]
Detached lower door trims, forth with the now trademark Audi 'Due south' model vertical-emphasis line grille, and solid aluminium (later replaced with plastic covered by aluminium) exterior door mirrors, and S4 badging front and rear are all that visually distinguish the S4 from its related A4 brethren. In the interior, front and rear Recaro seats (fronts fully electric with the selection of heated seats), besides as S4 logos in the instrument console and door sills complete the detail.

Audi S4 Sedan quattro (8EC, Due north America)
Audi S4 Cabriolet with optional 7-spoke alloy wheels (8HE, U.South.)
Audi S4 Avant quattro (8ED, Europe)
The Audi B7 platform Audi S4 quattro, based on the Audi B7 A4, debuted in late 2004. Although Audi classifies it as a new car, the differences between it and the approachable B6 S4 casually appear to exist primarily cosmetic, and is still classified by the internal designation: Typ 8E (although with revised sub-designations - saloon: 8EC, Avant: 8ED, and Cabriolet: 8HE).[5] It has the aforementioned four.ii-litre V8 engine (identification code: BBK) every bit the B6 S4, producing a power output of 253 kW (344 PS; 339 bhp) at vii,000 rpm, and 410 N⋅m (302 lbf⋅ft) torque at three,500 rpm.
There are a few mechanical changes, such as revised springs and dampers and, from model year 2007, an updated Torsen T-3 automatically biasing centre differential, featuring a 'default' asymmetric 40:sixty front-rear torque split on manual transmission models, along with the afterward Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Program[v] and gloss black painted brake calipers.[5] The 'Avus-3' wheels now became an option, and were replaced by a standard offer eight.0Jx18 inch 'S-design' 7-spoke forged alloy cycle.[v]
Bose sound system is now standard, whereas it was optional on the B6 S4, and an enhanced optional DVD-ROM-based RNS-E satellite navigation system replaces the previous CD-ROM-based RNS-D option.
The new trapezoidal unmarried-frame grille, Bi-Xenon high-intensity discharge lamp (HID) headlamps, L-shaped tail-lamps, quad exhaust tail pipes, and detached V8 badging below the side repeater indicators assist distinguish the B7 from the previous B6 model.
Audi S4 25quattro [edit]
Audi "S4 25quattro" special edition (8EC)
In June 2005,[5] Audi announced a limited edition run of 250 special edition S4 saloon cars, jubilant 25 years of quattro four wheel drive. This exclusive model was chosen the Audi S4 25quattro. Available only in the U.s., the exterior has unique front and rear bumpers, a carbon fibre boot lip spoiler and lower front splitter, a rear functional crimson tow hook, and a loftier gloss Phantom Black painted grille with the "quattro" emblem. 15-spoke DTM alloy wheels, along with optional dealer-fitted 'Audi four-rings' decals for the front end doors consummate the outside makeover. Black and grey contrasting interior leathers, along with "quattro" embossed into the Recaro seats, together with a "ane of 250" exclusive quattro gear shift knob for the manual-only gearbox define the interior changes and act as a subtle reminder of the exclusivity that the limited numbers command.
On the mechanical side, the S4 25quattro was the second Audi, after the B7 RS4 to exist fitted with the latest Torsen T-3 asymmetric ATB eye differential for its quattro permanent four-wheel drive system. Nether normal grip atmospheric condition, this is set up with a default rearwards torque distribution bias of 40:60 front to rear, and a maximum of 100% torque can automatically exist apportioned to the rear axle (and up to lxxx% to the forepart) as conditions warrant. The final drive ratios are 3.889.

Audi S4 Sedan quattro (B8/8K, Australia)
Audi S4 Avant (B8/8K, Due south Africa)
From November 2008, the latest generation of the 'Audi S4 quattro'[14] ( Typ 8K) entered manufacturing plant product. 0-60 in 4 seconds. [v] It is based on the electric current Audi B8 A4,[15] built on the Volkswagen Group MLB/MLP platform. Different the previous B6 and B7 models, the new B8 version was just available as a 4-door five-seat saloon (sedan), or a five-door v-seat Avant (estate/wagon). The sport-performance two-door four-seat Cabriolet (convertible) mantle is now taken past the current Audi S5 Cabriolet and new Coupe. Dissimilar previous generations of the S4, simply the sedan will exist imported to the United States and Canada.
Compared to the previous B6/B7 S4 which used a 4.2-litre V8 engine, this latest B8 S4 uses a smaller displacement 3.0-litre TFSI V6 engine, but now with the addition of forced induction via an Eaton mechanical supercharger.[ane]
The previous B6/B7 S4s were the top-of-the-line models in Due north America, ahead of the three.2L V6 and 4-cylinder 2.0T A4s, and competed with the BMW E46 330 and E90 335 respectively. The 3.0 TFSI V6 engine replaces the 3.2-litre FSI V6 equally the upgrade engine in the A4 and A6 lineups starting for 2009; both the 3.2-litre FSI and 3.0 TFSI were offered together until the end of the 2010 model year.[16] The 3.2L V6 engine is no longer offered in the A4 lineup from the 2011 model year onwards, and so the recently introduced B8 S4 is at present priced ix% lower than its V8 predecessors, and slots direct above the 4-cylinder ii.0T base of operations model. The S4 now compares more closely with the BMW 335i.
Previously unavailable enthusiast driver aids are at present optional, such as Audi's Sport Rear Differential, active steering and adaptive damping suspension (part of the Audi Bulldoze Select Parcel). The forepart axle was moved by half-dozen.1 inches to the front, which improved the weight distribution of the B8 Platform. Combined with the Sport Rear Differential Audi was able to greatly meliorate the weight balance and dynamics of the S4 over previous models.[17] [18] [19]
A new designed wheel is included on the B8 S4, an eight.5Jx18" 'v-double-spoke S' pattern alloy wheel with 245/40 ZR18 high performance tyres. Optional 19 inch bicycle and tyre packages are as well available, sized at 8.5Jx19" alloy wheels with 255/35 ZR19 tyres. LED tail lights are standard fitment, along with Audi'southward now-trademark LED daytime running lights at the front end.
The S4 along with the other B8 models received a facelift in early 2012. This included a revised forepart-end with new headlights and grille, an updated interior, and upgraded MMI options. Mechanically, the facelift B8 (known colloquially as the B8.5) was upgraded with electromagnetic steering and a lighter crown gear centre differential.
B8 powertrain [edit]
At the eye of the B8 S4 powertrain is an all-new, all aluminium-blend 3.0-litre TFSI Supercharged (TFSI) V6 engine (parts lawmaking prefix: 06E, identification lawmaking: CAKA),[5] and similar the rest of the B8 model range, now with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI). This petrol engine displaces ii,995 cubic centimetres (182.8 cu in), and it is rated by Audi to a ability output of 245 kW (333 PS; 329 bhp) from five,500 to 7,000 rpm. Torque is rated at 440 North⋅k (325 lbf⋅ft) from two,900 to 5,300 rpm. This loftier power output is achieved by using forced induction – and specifically, an all-new Eaton 'Twin Vortices Series' (TVS) Roots-blazon positive displacement compressor.[twenty] [21] This new supercharger features twin four-lobe rotors, which are axially twisted 160 degrees. It is mounted on height of the engine, within the 'Vee', pumping air directly into the inlet manifold, and incorporates two separate water-cooled intercoolers. This new design of supercharger is said to reduce the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) of the engine.
This engine is mated to either a vi-speed transmission transmission (identification lawmaking: KMR)[5] or a seven-speed 'S tronic' DL501[22] dual clutch transmission[23] (identification code: LHK),[5] the latter with steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters for tiptronic gear selection, which replaces the Tiptronic automatic transmissions found in the B6/B7 iterations. The 'Audi quattro Sports differential' fitted in the rear axle final bulldoze unit of measurement is available as an selection.
Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) takes 5.1 seconds[24] for the saloon with manual gearbox, the Avant one tenth of a 2d slower at 5.two seconds. The aforementioned dash to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the saloon with S tronic takes five.three seconds, and the Avant at 5.4 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Still, a comparison in the American automotive magazine Road & Track [25] showed the dart from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.5 seconds for the half dozen-speed transmission manual. With figures like these, the B8 S4 accelerates more than speedily than its V8-engined predecessors.[1] Audi of America claims that the version of the S4 achieves 28 highway miles per gallon, and a 0 to lx mph (96.6 km/h) acceleration time of 4.9 seconds with the manual manual[26] and 5.1 seconds with the South tronic.[27] Fuel consumption is rated at a combined 24.ii miles per US gallon (9.vii L/100 km; 29.1 mpg‑imp).[24] Therefore, the B8 S4, unlike the V8-powered B6/seven models, avoids the US gas guzzler taxation. The B8 S4's three.0 TFSI engine also gets but 1 thou.p.grand. less than the base of operations 2.0 TFSI engine.[28] This is i of the most of import reasons for Audi to downsize their engines, while keeping the output equivalent better, by using forced-induction such every bit supercharging or turbocharging.[1]
The aforementioned engine is shared with the Audi S5 Cabriolet (though the seven-speed S Tronic is the sole transmission) and the 2013 Audi S5 Coupe. Detuned versions of this engine making 310 PS (228 kW; 306 hp) are institute in the 2009-11 Audi A6 iii.0 TFSI (C6) mated to a 6-speed TipTronic automated manual, the 2012 Audi A6 three.0 TFSI (C7) and 2012 Audi A7 3.0 TFSI, the latter two which are paired with an 8-speed TipTronic automatic.
Motorsport [edit]
In motor racing, Apr Motorsport has currently entered a B8 S4 in the Chiliad-Am Continental Tire Sports Machine Challenge One thousand Sport (GS) class.[29]

Audi announced the B9 S4 in 2015, with the official unveiling of the European-spec model at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Evidence. Noticeable changes to the B9 included a modern, more angular exterior, newly designed wheels, and a new turbocharged V6 engine. Unlike the pre-facelift B8 S4, the announced European-spec model is only bachelor with an eight-speed torque converter automatic (ZF 8HP55a).
Audi S4 Avant quattro 3.0 TFSI (United kingdom)
Audi S4 Avant facelift (Germany)
The new model uses LED main-axle and LED daytime running lights every bit standard, alongside dynamic turn signals and LED tail-lights. Like other Audi models, the notable feature in the new S4 is Virtual Cockpit which has Archetype Layout and Sports Layout in displaying speedometer and tachometer.
The B9 S4 features standard xviii-inch 5 double-spoke wheels with summer tires, or optional 19-inch v V-spoke wheels.
The B9's brakes utilize multi-piston calipers, replacing the single-piston sliding calipers of earlier models. LED headlights are standard while a flat-bottomed steering wheel, "S" embossed seats, and quad tailpipes differentiate the S4 from the B9 A4.
B9 powertrain [edit]
The current generation S4 is powered by a 3.0 50 V6 with petrol straight injection and a single twin-whorl turbo powering the EA839 engine with 354 PS (260 kW; 349 hp) and 500 N⋅chiliad (369 lbf⋅ft). The engine uses a hot inside V layout, which places the cylinder head exhaust ports, exhaust manifolds, and turbocharger inside the V of the engine; this is a similar system to the twin-turbo V8 engines used in Audi's C7/C8 RS6 and RS7 (including C7 S6/S7).
As a result of the powertrain upgrades in the new S4, it now tin can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.ii seconds.[30] It is electronically limited to a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h).[31]
In European markets, the facelifted B9 S4 - launched in 2019 - is at present powered past a three.0-litre turbocharged diesel V6 with 347 PS (255 kW; 342 hp) and 700 N⋅m (516 lbf⋅ft), mated to a ZF 8-speed torque converter automated gearbox and all-bike-drive. For outside of European markets, however, information technology still retains the iii.0-litre petrol turbo V6.
