s4 looks solid, but all the audis are looking the same with those tails and those LED headlights.

GreenThree · 10-03-2008, 08:36 AM

Lookin good!

UltimateBMW · 10-03-2008, 11:58 AM

Has anyone noticed that the S4 at the Paris Auto show, and the S4 in the comparison photos below it are wearing different rims?

In fact, the A4 S-line in the comparison photos is wearing the S4 rims. What gives?

lyjw88 · 10-03-2008, 12:19 PM

I'd keep my 335...

Actually the RS4 style wheels are S-Line wheels too (it annoys me too, they should only appear on the RS4) The S4 wheels are the ones in the official pic of the red S4. The S4 also uses the S5 wheels, and apparently the S-line RS4 style wheels too!

no one thinks that the rear deck spoiler is slightly different?

The S4 rear deck has a slight angle and maybe even a little more curve.

Bigger duck tail, just like on the S5

Funny I never really noticed the spoiler to be different on my S5 than on an ordinary A5, but in these pictures you can clearly see the difference between the S4 and A4.

Either way, when combined with the sports diff and DSG it will be the car to beat.

BMW will need to include a LSD option on the 335i to compete in my opinion.

nvez · 10-04-2008, 08:27 AM

When would this arrive here? This looks like big competition to the 335i

nvez · 10-04-2008, 08:30 AM

"The engine-driven belt that powers the mechanical charger provides full thrust right from idling speed. The 3.0 TFSI delivers its maximum 440 Nm (324.53 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm and maintains this constantly until 4,850 rpm."

Kinda a late kick-in compared to 335i?

The S4 might produce it's maximum torque (440Nm) at 2500rpm but it's still producing over 350Nm at 1600rpm. At little down on the 335i but by only 50Nm but over most of the range it is actually producing more.

Two different approachs that seem to be achieving the same results. Plus the S4 engine weighs quite a bit less, but if you are a guy who is into tuning your car the 335i will most likely be the best bet.

ALPINE6SPD · 10-04-2008, 02:15 PM

It does not look that much different than a regular A4 sline. The M3 sedan looks a lot more different than the regular 3 sedan than does the S4. I like the car but SUPERCHARGED??????? I wish it was tubo to be honest. Lastly it will not be any faster than a 335i and will be an even worse deal than the current S4 which is currently very overpriced. I wish Audi designed the cars and BMW made them drive like a BMW then we would be set. The forn is awesome but the rear is too plain IMO. The S4 rear looks good but too vanilla compared with the SICK front end

I don't know if I missed any info, but is this turbocharged or supercharged?
I thought an article said supercharger. But now I am seeing TFSI. Does T stands for Turbo?

audiprotein · 10-05-2008, 07:38 PM

Supercharged, they just decided to keep TSFI as a "name"
