There are pretenders among us.....
Geniuses with the ability to become anyone they want to be.....
333ps is a mistake - less than the B6/B7 S4. Should be 380ps and with twin sequential turbos for good response at low revs plus high boost at high revs.
i see no reason why the S5 should keep the V8 if this engine has those specs. stage 1 S4's will be running around killing S5's.
this would be a perfect midengine offering for the A6 as well. just like the days when you could get an A6 with the 2.8, 2.7TT, and 4.2. and there is no way the A5line would be given a TT V6 with just 20 hp less than the 10K more expensive S5.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
That's great to hear it will be twin-turboed and no as I was informed. For once I am glad to be proven wrong.Originally Posted by The Pretender
The only thing I was right on was the output but then so was everyone else, also I'm correct in thinking that S/Tronic with make it to the party as well.
Did you happen to hear if this included Sports Diff as this is also meant to be included with the introduction of the S4?
Search and you will find the truth.
3.0 T, 333 hp..., FANTASTIC !!!
Very nice news !!!
Great news, I suppose this is the final setup, right? No more crazy engines coming for this car, I hope
And S-Tronic!!! IT's time for something like that, the new M3 just got it, and I feel bad the BMW came out with their DSG faster than Audi!!! Especially since our DSG is already out for quite a few years. It's a slap in the face!!
Any news on the release date of the B8 S4?!
Early 2009 in the market
IMO early 2009 is too late for the new S4 ... Qisha wrote in another thread that the RS4 (MY 2010) is getting the new Quattro ... so MY 2010 is May 2009 if i'm right...
So i think that this info is wrong...
Should be 350+. Unless Audi prices it very cheaply.
would you all prefer:
A) a 360 hp V6 TT with less overengineering to keep it light, but not as mod friendly as the 2.7TT?
B) a 330 hp V6 with more overengineering, heavier, but more mod friendly.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
Why not just give it 360 hp from the begining if you are going to overengineer? HP sells cars, (especially in America) and Audi can for sure get 350 or so out of a 3.0 V6 with forced induction. Twin turbo or supercharged.
330 will be low for a performance oriented sports sedan, as there was more horsepower available before. Audi is not in the business of selling warranty ending chip kits. People buy chips, void warranty, engine breaks for one or other reason. Audi is left with bad publicity and Consumer Reports scores. It is in the business of selling cars for a good amount. Anything less than 340 will be a joke. 350 makes sense, as does 354 or 360.
Im a little confused with audis lineup/release schedule.....almost as if they are rushing things through.....i mean whats the point of releasing the S5 with a conventional auto soon when the S4 wil be ready with an S-tronic especially as the S4 is not suppoised to be as sporty as the S5?
I dont think the +20HP in the S5 is too much for the S-tronic?
In fact id bet the S4 with triptronic will be quicker then an auto S5
Considering MDCT has just been confirmed for the M3 I imagine the RS5 will need a dual clutch transmission too so why not go full steam ahead with Stronic for all sporty models?
Cmon Audi...get your Vorschsprung durch tecknic asses in gear
Truth In The Blacklist
People, S5 will be with S-Tronic also - but later
S4 will be Early 2009 in the market.
RS4 will be Mid 2010 in the market.
I think that 333+/- hp is realistic... Audi never made ''big jump'' from its competitors when it comes to power, so I don't expect this time...
335 i is 306 hp, so 333+/- hp is OK...
When can we expect to see some world premier..., Geneve '08 or Paris '08 ?
its ok, but i think it will be a bit higher. S-tronic is cool, 7 gears??? or 6 gears???
OH Quisha, please if you know, answer us the question: is the new S4 getting the new quattro sportdiff. (TQ)???
PS: audi should bring sportdiff: (TQ) for all S and RS models for standart!!! is this possible? anybody knows?
~~~And God did ask the stones... wants their Quattro to drive... the stones answered..." no we´re not hard enough".~~~
@tvrfan...
As far as i can remember Qisha said in another Thread (where he also said, that the RS4 will be MY 2010 - so the release date won't be early 2009) that the S4 is the first car to get new Quattro!
Perhaps the car will be signicantly lighter(say 120kgs, optimistic.... i know) than is't predecesor, hence ned a less power output. Plus, the new Quattro system is probably going to make it a blast to drive.
333hp and 90kg lighter works fine with me!
