The 2010 Audi S4 dropped the 4.2-to 3.0-liter V8 supercharged V6 with less power and strange "T" badge. Is that the recipe for a sport sedan finally able to defeat rivals BMW and make our 2010 Best10?
That the "old" 4.2-liter V8 producing 340 HP and is still used in almost every car Audi makes, from the platform-sharing to the 2010 Audi S5 Audi R8 4.2. This amazing machine in all its forms, combine voice with instant V8 revs. Jumping on the S4 for the first time, I was pretty disappointed with the absence, the new direct-injected and supercharged V6's buzz will be heard at home in the Camry and no signs of any supercharger sound.
The new S4 is also much cheaper, basic versions start at only $ 45,900, $ 2710 cheaper than the old V8 and without the gas tax $ 1,700 drunks on the price tag.
But it was only the beginning. The 2010 S4 is also equipped with the optional $ 1100 torque-vectoring rear differential that works with a 40:60 front to rear power split and stability control to all but completely eliminate understeer. Audi without understeer? This is getting more interesting.
