Press Release:

260 kW (354 hp), 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.7 seconds – Audi launches the new S4* and S4 Avant* at the IAA in Frankfurt am Main. The top models from the A4 series are ahead of the competition – with intelligent lightweight design, powerful engines, and an extensive package of the latest technologies.“At Audi, we have more than 20 years of expertise in developing our sporty S models,” says Professor Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Audi Board of Management for Technical Development. “From day one, our formula for success has been a combination of outstanding quattro performance, restrained design, and state of the art drive train, suspension, and infotainment technology. The new Audi S4 and S4 Avant impressively continue this sporty tradition.”

Lightweight and powerful: the 3.0 TFSIThe heart of the S models is a newly developed V6 engine with petrol direct injection and turbocharging. The 3.0 TFSI has an output of 260 kW (354 hp); its 500 Nm (368.8 lb?ft) of torque is available across a wide range of speeds from 1,300 to 4,500 rpm. The engine outstrips its predecessor in terms of power and torque, while simultaneously offering significantly lower fuel consumption and weight.

The engine can accelerate the Audi S4 from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.7 seconds, and the electronic limiter kicks in at 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Despite its considerably improved performance, the V6 is extremely efficient. In the NEDC cycle, the S4 Sedan consumes less than 7.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers with 170 grams CO2 per kilometer(31.8 US mpg [273.6 g/mi]).

The new eight-speed tiptronic transmission is highly efficient and provides fast, comfortable and spontaneous gear changes. Whenever the driving situation allows, it switches to freewheeling to save fuel.

As on every Audi S model, the power of the 3.0 TFSI is transmitted to the road by quattro permanent all-wheel drive. During normal driving, the selflocking center differential funnels 60 percent of engine torque to the rear axle and 40 percent to the front. Depending on the operating situation, it can distribute up to 70 percent to the front axle or up to 85 percent to the rear. The wheel-selective torque control based on an intelligent software function rounds off the quattro drive train. For dynamic cornering, the wheels on the inside of the bend are slightly braked before they can slip. This makes handling more precise, agile, and stable. A sport differential available as an option improves the handling further by actively distributing the forces between the rear wheels.

Intelligent dynamics: suspension

The new Audi S4 and S4 Avant handle corners of all kinds with aplomb – whether on a racetrack or a mountain pass. For fast motorway driving, both models feature impressive straight-line stability. This performance is down to the newly developed suspension. The five-link suspension on the front and rear axle precisely separates the longitudinal and transverse forces, thus ensuring optimum handling in all driving situations. Like the electromechanical power steering, both are designed to be very lightweight. Variable speed-dependent dynamic steering is available as an option.

The standard S sport suspension is 23 millimeters (0.9 in) lower than on the basic model. The ride height is the same with the optional suspension with active damper control. Along with the engine, steering, tiptronic and sport differential, CDC dampers (CDC = continuous damping control) are included in the Audi drive select handling system which comes as standard. This enables the driver to adjust the suspension characteristics in several modes.

The standard 18 inch wheels in 5?twin-spoke star design roll on 245/40 size tires. A 19?inch alternative is available from quattro GmbH. Powerful, stable brakes are fitted on the large wheels.

Sporty understatement: design

The appearance of the new S4 models is subtly understated. At the front, the Singleframe grille and the accentuated horizontal lines underline the width. The bumpers and air inlets are prominently profiled. Many of the add-on parts are painted in finely graduated matt gray tones, accentuated with chrome trimming at selected points.

The exterior mirror housings in aluminum look are a visual highlight on the clear flowing side lines of the 4.74 meter long S4 (15.6 ft). The strongly profiled sill trims also give both models a striking appearance. On the tailgate, a separating edge provides targeted aerodynamics. The S?specific rear bumper integrates a black honeycomb grille, an S?typical diffuser clip, and the four tailpipes of the dual-branch exhaust system. Intelligent composite construction characterizes the body. This makes it exceptionally torsionally rigid, safe, and lightweight. It is the basis for the low unladen weight of the car. The sedan with quattro drive as standard tips the scales at 1,630 kilograms (3593.5 lb), the Avant at 1,675 kilograms (3692.7 lb).

Audi

La linea S è ormai uno svilimento imho: esteticamente non cambia praticamente nulla rispetto ad una normale S-Line :roll: . Però, comunque, questa generazione di A4 mi piace sempre più e la preferisco alla precedente.

Sotto il cofano, 3.0 TFSI da 354 CV e 500 Nm di coppia.

In attesa delle foto dell'Avant.

Fate un giochino, guardate prima il topic della Giulia (con le nuove foto) e poi riguardate questa. Gli antipodi, due filosofie stilistiche completamente diverse (non sto dicendo che una sia meglio dell'altra, semplicemente che vanno a stuzzicare la fantasia in modo diverso).

Questa costerà meno di Giulia, ma dato che Audi ha già ampiamente annunciato che la nuova RS4 avrà circa 420cv....vabbè, i commenti si sprecherebbero immagino. Gran bella macchina A4, ma non fa "sangue" come un'italiana del calibro di Giulia. Una cosa che contesto alle tedesche è che, riprendendo un recente articolo apparso su quattroruote da parte di un cliente BMW, che le tedesche sono auto "belle senz'anima". Giulia, ed io ero scettico oltremodo (lo sono ancora poiché non ho potuto vederla dal vivo e vedere com'è assemblata), mi trasmette passione. Cosa che nessuna tedesca riesce più a trasmettermi.

in garage: MY22 BMW M3 Competition Xdrive G80 + MY22 Jaguar F-Pace SVR

un dato e poi smetto con il confronto : 2 motori 2.9 V6 Turbo ... uno con 354 cv, l'altro con 510 cv. Non poca la differenza ...

Vabbeh le versioni S di A4 non sono per nulla paragonabili alla Quadrifoglio della Giulia, ma neanche a M3 o C63 AMG, ne per prestazioni ne per vocazione.

Questa versione è nella stessa fascia di 335i, C400 AMG, XE S.

I Krukki muoiono dalla voglia di poter fare vetture rosse che meritino il rosso... :D

Vorrebbero (e infatti volevano comprare Alfa), ma non ce la fanno proprio.

...poi vai nel topic Giulia, e vedi gente sbavare sul GRIGIO(!) e sul blu... :roll::roll::roll:
