It look like the new S4 will only have a up-graded S-line bodykit, with a TTS style rear valance and rear LED lights.

- new "S" grille.
- final front bumper isnt shown. See pic below for final front bumper.
- rear diffuser is like the S5 and TT-S
- obviously sporting the S4 badge.

The new A4 has grown on me. The rear lights seemed a little lazy at first, but overall it looks better than its rivals IMO. S4 is too similar too A4 S-Line but it does look great, and if that engine is as good as we think it will be, it'll slot in perfect between A4 and RS4. :D

Usually you are spot on, BUT the bumper on the red one is no where near S4 final - it is the standard A4 front bumper, found on every A4 coming out of the factory without the S line exteriour package.

And yes, that's how it has been in the past as well, the front bumper of S line and S4 have been the same, therefore very similar look.

The silver ones are the real deal

Wow, I cant believe I made that mistake. I was on my laptop earlier. Didnt even pay much attention, but on my bigger screen I notice how stupid it was to say that. It's because I was looking at 2 sets of spypics today. There is the red proto above and also the silver ones. Yes you are right, the silver one is actually the final product. It is like the S-line BUT you can see the intakes open instead of closed.

Thanks for correcting me!

I am very disappointed with these photos of the new S4, it just looks stock S-Line with a Smodel grille. When Audi see fit to give it's TT/S a totally different bodykit compared to the S-Line they should have followed it's lead and match with something similar on both the S4 and S5. :noshake:

TT-S and S5 look amazing. A5 S-line is very similar to the S5 again though. The TT-S is lives up to it's badge much more because it doesnt look like it's S-line variant at all...

This new S4 is a little disappointing in that respect. It does look fantastic, it's just too similar to the S-line.

A guess but I reckon when connected to S/Tronic it will post times as good as the S5 to 100km/h and just maybe better to the 200km/h mark.

The RS4 B8 will bring the differentiation you are looking for :thumb:

Yes, most S Audi's have only a S-Line exterior body kit.
But after the pre facelift S3 and TTS you had the idea the S4 will get also something different.
Now it's a nice understated looking car in line of the rest of the A4 family.

Quinty,

I dont always like your designs but they are always high quality. This time I love the design AND quality. The rear diffuser isnt accurate though. Look at spypics.

The front looks great. Imagine this next to the 335i Msport. I know what I'd pick :D

The RS6
June 25th, 2008, 13:17
Yeah, awesome job with that S4 Quinty! I didn't like the Clubsports you made (a bit too much for my taste), but this S4 looks just right :)

When you're done with it, try creating an RS4 from it...add some quattro style arches, add the tts-style front... :)

Hey there,

Thanks for the compliment. The most photoshops I make are like conceptcars, overdone. Other times I try to make them realistic. I think that Audi will change the diffuser, the car on the spypics is only a testcar. But if you take a look at the normal S4 spypics you can see it will be different from to normal A4. I will photoshop a S4 Avant Clubsport Edition later this week.

btw, it look almost perfect, great work.

Some small PS advise from my former PS day's.
If you select the inner line of the crome bar of the grill, you can slide the selection over to the donor picture and put it in position.
Then select it and slide it back to your PS picture, in that case you have a perfect fit.
Further, can you make the bars black like this.

http://www.fourtitude.com/gallery/albums//Audi/TT-TT%20Roadster/TT%20%28a5%29/Coupe%20-%20EU/Exterior/112.jpg

And do some cleaning by the rear window, put in headlight washers and maybe a slide color chance in medium grey.
Just a litle advise nothing more.

btw put you name on it.

That's because when you work on chops your eye cant spot imperfections. Sometimes you need fresh eyes or check it later and you will notice imperfections. Happens to me all the time :D

I lost my edits but I tried to fix it up again:

- headlight washers
- fixed the shape of the rear window
- black strip for side-intakes
- grille retouched

There are only two things that have to be change, the left mirror is still white not aluminium and the grill need a clean-up with licence plate holder and lower placed Audi + RS logo and use a changed TTS logo to TTR.

According to the new edition of German Autobild, could the new S4 also end up with the new TT RS Five-cylinder engine with double turbo and 350 hp.

If this is true then i think the 290 hp 3.0TFSI SC engine will only replace the 265 hp 3.2 V6 FSI engine.

That would be an interesting development, it would justify the development work being undertaken on the 5 cylinder and would return Audi to the sound they were so famous for. Hope it comes true and is not another piece of fiction to fill an empty page on a magazine.

3.0T makes more sense, more refinement that is fitting for an S4. The engine is ready and the S4 is ready. There were tons of rumors at first, so one more (I5 twin turbos) is possible.

The 290 figures comes @ under 5,000 RPM with a 6,500 redline, Audi can easily get 50-60-more horsepower in that "empty at the moment" range.

We have known for some time that 333hp and supercharging was what the S4 was going to get, I am happy with the choice of engine and was happy with the output when the 335i had only 306hp, but with this updated power figures and even more torque it does place the S4 at a disadvantage. The car will be more expensive, they always were but the last S4 was that bit quicker than the then 330i which was it's competition, now with the new and improved 335i the car needs more, much more to stay ahead of the game.

As for deep throats talking about engine which haven't surfaced or won't, there is numerous example of engines being tested that never see the light of day, posting about them doesn't not mean people here don't want to hear about them though. :looking:

But lets start the speculation here and now about some future engines just see who is right and who is wrong.

The 3.0 Bi-turbo diesel isn't on any official Audi memo but I can assure you it is coming and this info I gave close to 18 months ago.

The S4 was to be a supercharge unit, I was told this well before any official document, even though most other Audi sites stated it would be turbo, the same applies to the RS6, I was told it's release would to be an Avant instead of the rumor that it would be a saloon and give the reasons why. Again this was on no official document.

Just because it's not on an official list doesn't mean it ain't correct. The person who supplies my info I have 100% faith in and so far the info has never been wrong. :looking:

P.S.
The R8v10 on the Youtube video was the real deal and I doubt you will ever see another mistake like that again.

What the hell is EKTA?

ETKA = ErsatzTeilKAtalogus.
All Audi/VW spare parts are in it with partnumber and price.
And when a new model comes into production there will be a ETKA update with all the spare parts of that model in it.
Based on the spare parts you can see info about a coming model like engine info.

There is also ELSA workshop handbook with all repairing guides and fix torque moments.
With other words everything a mechanic need to know to repair a car.

The 3.0 Bi-turbo diesel isn't on any official Audi memo but I can assure you it is coming and this info I gave close to 18 months ago.

The S4 was to be a supercharge unit, I was told this well before any official document, even though most other Audi sites stated it would be turbo, the same applies to the RS6, I was told it's release would to be an Avant instead of the rumor that it would be a saloon and give the reasons why. Again this was on no official document.

Just because it's not on an official list doesn't mean it ain't correct. The person who supplies my info I have 100% faith in and so far the info has never been wrong. :looking:

P.S.
The R8v10 on the Youtube video was the real deal and I doubt you will ever see another mistake like that again.

I never said that your info is wrong ;) I just said, that ELSA and ETKA are not the systems on which you can base your info!

Because when it's in etka or elsa most other people know that already ;) e.g. the inline 5 :)

I am personally always upbeat about future models, unlike some people here. It maybe other people's approach to play down Audi's future models but it's just not my way.

When someone tells me that the new S4 is going to surprise a hack of a lot of people with it's handling balance and finesse from it's chassis then I take those comments at face value and report what is said. The same applies to the TT/RS, the comments reported to me is the car is shockingly good, good enough to make Porsche take note and decide to release a Cayman Turbo on the strength of what I found when they drove the test mules. To me that is enough of a recommendation to know that the TT/RS will be up there with the top Cayman and thus better than the rest of the competition.

what is the S4 getting now, the new TVS Eaton Twin-Screw compressor or a roots compressor? before most articels said its the new TVS Eaton twin-screw compressor. but now some write its a roots compressor. does anybody know more? :brag:

PS: whats better, a roots compressor or a twin-screw (difference)???

Eaton TVS familly is Roots, most advanced yet but roots.
TwinScrew is compressing air between lobes, Roots just pushes(charges,therefore Charger/Blower) air into intake plenum. Twin Screw therefore requires much,much tighter clearences between lobes, i.e. precision/high price is the name of the game. Result is that TwinScrew is heathing up air much less,making higher boost for given pulley size,more efficient.
But all this is irrelevant when things comes to mass production, than name of the game is being cheaper than other solutions and more reliable.

I love to sing and play music. I can't find anyone to get into a band with. All my friends are either in bands or talentless. So would it be a good idea to record the music and sing live with taped music. Would this be a good idea and is it common? Does it depend on the music?

all the models of Audi get the same LED-lights at the back, I'm getting sick of it really. The models look now way too much the same...

I like LED, but this is going too far for me

LED light is the future.
I like the 3D TT + R8 rear lights better.

I really like the LED's. I just think it wouldn't be fare that all Audi's have it standard in the future. I'm talking A3's and A4's 1.9TDI

Not "fair" to whom? Audi is a luxury brand, and no matter which model is bought by the consumer, it is fair to them that they get their moneys' worth. Heads up, the New A4 had a base model price jump of about $4,000 from the previous model here in the U.S.

"All" the models don't have the same LED design though. The LED layout for the A8, RS6, R8, and now the A4 are different. I say go for it. LED is the way of the future and all models should be sporting LED tails looking their best at all times no matter which Audi your driving.
