2010 Audi S4
The Audi S4 re-enters the US arena in grand fashion, having added all the enhancements that debuted in the B4 A4 sedan, including a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 producing 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. According to Audi USA's website, pricing of the S4 starts at $45,900 (excluding a destination and delivery charge of $825) for the S4 sedan with a six-speed manual transmission. Pricing for the S4 with Audi's seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch tranny starts a little higher at $47,300. The new S4 is down two cylinders to the previous V8-powered S4 but it is capable to reach 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, about 0.4 seconds faster.
It's also more fuel efficient, achieving 18 mpg city/27 highway compared to the old model's 13 mpg city/20 highway. Audi isn't intending for its S4 to try to get a share of BMW's M3 market segment. Rather, Audi thinks the S4 is a perfect foil for people considering a BMW 335i or Mercedes-Benz C350.
The 335i starts lower at $40,300, but offers an engine that produces only 300 horsepower. The C350, meanwhile, starts lower still at $39,000, but again features a 3.5-liter V6 producing only 268 horsepower. Audi states that what's remarkable about it is that the S4, despite being more powerful than its cross-country German rivals, is more fuel-efficient than both of them.
