Damn, the new S4 looks quick.... see for yourself



I kinda like the way it sounds, too. Different from our I6's...

looking at its acceleration to 180...seems to be still slower than our 335i

its not fast. at least from that video. actually looked slow from watching the speedo

but there will be some sick tunes out for that car, will be very easy to get over 400hp.

then it will be nice.

IDK, it has a S/C vs. the small snailed TT of the 335i pushing 15psi when tuned. Got to wonder when the ECU tunes come out for the new S4, what kind of psi will they be running and just how much faster will they be? I've heard that it's easier to raise boost and extract more HP/TQ on a tt rather than a s/c.

True but you gotta figure there already down 30% easy from the factory for reliability. So you have that initial 30% plus say another 30% and then you have a worked 335 contender with the basic same routes... Thats all im saying sflgator. You have seen me around you know how i am.

Stock 335i vs stock S4 the two are identical from 140km/h ~ 200km/h. Both did it in 9 seconds.

You can look at this and think the 335i is every bit as quick as the S4 or the S4 is only as quick as the 335i. The fact is that everyone knows the stock 335i produces more than quoted, in fact it's matching Audi quoted figures of 333hp and it's torque figures. Which begs the question, is the S4 also underrated, it has to be if you believe the transmission loses are as great as some people on here believe they are.

But I can tell you this, if the S4 is as quick on the straights as the 335i then it will blow it in the corners.

one of audi's best things is the exhaust tuning. really love their RS4. This supercharged S4 should be awesome too. If I were to get a 4 door I'd probably choose the new S4....but one problem. they suck at giving discounts.

S4 has quattro so its heavier to begin with...and additional power loss

The exhaust note on this particular car is not very nice (taken from my friend that attended the press event on this car in Spain). I would definitely be changing that. I am just worried about residual values....that may keep me in another 335.

BTW, that driver does NOT know how to drive.

I think it sounds great, and looks really flat through the corners!
