2010 Audi S4 to debut at Paris Auto Show
Audi is going to debut the sporty S4 Quattro, with an all-new supercharged engine, at the 2008 Paris Auto Show.
Replacing the previously-absurd V8-powered model from last year, the new S4 packs a new supercharged 3.0L V6, good for 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. This TFSI engine uses a compact supercharger instead of a turbo system, as its name suggests. Standard is a 6-speed manual, while a 7-speed paddle-shifted dual-clutch “S Tronic” automanual is optional. Quattro all-wheel-drive is standard, with 40:60 front/rear power distribution.
The sedan sprints to 62 mph in just 5.1 seconds, and the upcoming Avant wagon version does it in 5.2 seconds. Both have an electronically governed top speed of 155 mph. Audi claims fuel efficiency to be as low as 25 mpg.
The interior gets an upgrade, with sports seats, S4 emblems, and brushed aluminum inlays, with optional carbon-fiber, birch wood or stainless-steel mesh inlays.
The car will cost about $50,000, should it debut in the United States next year.
