New Audi S4 info: twin-turbo v6 is back!

http://www.audiworld.com/news/07/b8-...usive-preview/

No I am not selling the evo, but this sure could be Anna's next car! With a chip, this thing should put down 380-400hp (crank) easy.

Probably a good thing. I've heard nothing but problems with the 4.2 not to mention you pretty much have to take off the front end to change the serpentine belt.

Most of the time the whole fron end has to come off for any kind of service in the front.

the first year they came out in the s4 platform they had issues with blowing up after that it got a little better each year, but in the end I think they are realizing that their core market want the tuning options that a turbo platform offers.

The car is all angular, aggressive and nice, then they decided they needed a place to put people and threw a rounded top on it. The canopy just looks out of place on that car. The main body looks like a CTS and 300C had a baby, i like it.

Re: New Audi S4 info: twin-turbo v6 is back!

IMO Audi = the loose. I am jus tnot a fan. If I were to be getting something of that caliber, I would be after a BMW 330xi (not sure on the model, BMW rearranged the site and I couldnt find it). Anyway, its a beemer I6 AWD twin turbo.
