2016 Audi S4 Sport Sedan quattro Price Specs Audi Pictures Prices Qualities.Based on the 220-horsepower A4 sedan, the S4 ratchets up the performance quotient with a 333 horsepower, 325 lb-ft of torque 3.0-liter V6 engine
that yields a zero-to-60 mpg time of five seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. A six-speed manual comes standard, while a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also available. Fuel economy is rated at 17/26 with the manual and 18/28 with the automatic.The outgoing S4 packs 329bhp from its supercharged 3.0-litre V6. Its successor retains that unit but will step the power up to around 340bhp with a turbocharger instead of a mechanical compressor to swell torque to 339lb ft.There’ll be a hotter-still successor to the RS4 as well, with as much as 450bhp to play with.
The outgoing S4 used a supercharger to boost power from a 3.0-litre V6, but a new direct-injection unit in this one sees turbocharging brought in instead to improve efficiency. As a result power is boosted from 328bhp to 349bhp, with a 60Nm torque increase to round it out at a full 500Nm.The S4 is distinguishable from its less potent kin by a more aggressive front fascia with more foglamp housings and a metallic-trimmed grille. From the side, one will notice more sporty wheels, mounted outside larger, high-performance calipers and rotors that help bring the performance-minded car to a halt. Continuing to the rear, the S4 features a unique rear fascia and badging that will let more pedestrian vehicles know exactly why they are viewing the back.While the S4’s overall dimensions won’t change much, it will be lighter than the outgoing one. The new Audi A4 family (type name B9) is built around a weight-slashing platform dubbed ‘MLB Evo’, helping towards uprated fuel economy and downsized emissions. Since it’ll also be stronger and stiffer than the current A4 underpinnings, it promises associated gains on the handling front too. Audi is keen to develop more of a reputation for building drivers’ cars, after all.
