B9 Audi S4 debuts at 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show

Kuala Lumpur: Joining the new A4 sedan in showrooms next year will be the sporty B9 Audi S4 variant, which made its debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. This Audi new car has been provided to give more power, a completely new platform and enhanced technology.

Available only with an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission, the new B9 Audi S4 does pack more power under the hood from its new 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 engine. This powertrain churns out a maximum power output of 354 HP along with the peak torque of 500 Nm. From the previous supercharged V-6 engine, there is a considerable hike of about 21 HP in the power and 60 Nm of increase in the torque figure.

In combination with a lighter curb weight of 3,593 lb, the extra power makes for quoted performance numbers of 4.7 seconds from 0-100 kmph and a top speed of 250 kmph. Chassis improvements include a 0.9 inch lower ride height than the A4 to improve the S4’s handling prowess.

Also on the options list is variable speed-dependent dynamic steering, linked to the standard electromechanical power steering system. The Audi drive select system manages the powertrain, steering and the continuous damping control (CDC).

On the inside, sport seats, Alcantara trim, and brushed aluminum accents round out the S treatment, and the S4 uses the same redesigned MMI infotainment system as the standard A4. Details such as the illuminated door sill trims with S4 logos, the embossing in the seats, and the special S4 start screen further set the S4 apart from the regular A4.
