Audi S4 undisguised!

With Audi’s new A4 range officialy released, attention now turns to the performance S range, which should be making its arrival by mid next year. These latest spy shots reveal a completely undisguised prototype of the new car, which can clearly be seen sporting a new set of bumpers and a small bootlid spoiler. The only other visual clue that this is in fact the new S4 is the quad exhaust tailpipes residing in the rear diffuser.

Power will come from the familiar 4.2L FSI V8 engine, but expect to see slightly more than the 340hp (253kW) found in the current car. Customers will be able to choose between either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, and drive will be sent to all four wheels via quattro AWD as standard. Audi may also debut its new sport differential in the S4, a new system that can send torque to the individual rear wheels almost instantly. This should see handling improve dramatically over the current car.

The next stop is the new RS4, which we’re likely to see towards the end of next year. The previous model surprised everyone with its handling and power characteristics and the new model should be more of the same.

Looks a lot bigger.. longer wheel base?

Pretty much the same as the B7 except with a A5 rear end with overbite-trunk.

^they better be taking that turn in the last photo quick ,cause I'm not diggin' the body roll

^^^^Did you see those big fender flares ? They are suitable for 19'' or even 20'' not tiny 17'' like in those Motor authority pictures. BTW, I'm pretty confident the next B8 S4 will look like the previous S4 PS picture from Audiworld.com on my first post.

New B8 S4 Spypix, now with new wheels. :good:

Audi A4 In Depth

Does anyone know why they went back to 1.8 liters as the standard for the A4? I thought that Audi had graduated to 2.

The 1.8t is for gas saving purposes and the U.S. is not getting it, we're still using the 2.0T. The power output might be raised but it can't conflict with the 3.2's power output. There's too many rumors about engines for the U.S.

Man, that boot/trunk handle/overbite really ruins the lines on that beauty.

They should take a cue from the current A6's boot/trunk.

wonder what that 3rd foglight in the spypics is?...

gobs3z · 10-03-2007, 02:19 PM

Actually I'm more interested in making sure that that is an oil cooler in the lower part of the bumper (I'm being too optimistic). And that 3rd fog light is probably a sensor for gathering data.

Schwalbe · 10-04-2007, 12:27 AM

^^^^As you specified, I also believe in a type of oil-cooler.

The 3rd fog light on the S4 is propably an optic device for the "Audi Lane assist" system.
