New Audi S4 gets 3.0 litre Supercharged engine


With VW/Audis continuing plan to go green, Audi has announced the new S4 platform will receive a supercharged 3.0 litre V6 producing 340Bhp. The sad fact is quattro GmBH was not set to design the forthcoming S4. It seems the VAG group is concerned about rising fuel costs and is focusing on fuel economics in respect to performance which most Audites have grown accustomed too.

The body will be the same as the base model A4 and will not have any type of distinction aside from the body panels. The newer S4 will feature a new magnetic differential similiar to that found in ZF Technologies version for BMW. Weight is rumoured to be around 3900ilbs which only adds certain dismay concerning the power to weight ratio.
