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.

Audi and a possible F1 team ?

There is now a small rumour Audi might chair a seat in F1, although this is just a rumour what is a known fact now is that Hans Stuck former driver for BMW has left and is joining the VW group and has hinted at a possible F1 team in the future. He will currently be a liason titled "Motorsport Representative".
