Shop for a used Audi S4 for sale and in stock at carmax.com. Research the. This is the first time I've ever had to read and re-read an owner's manual for a car. The B6 and B7 generations both had a 4.2-liter, V8 engine. Dec 30, 2014 - It's a picture of an Audi S4 parked on a Manhattan street. But this isn't just any Audi S4: it's an S4 Avant, the station wagon model.
2009-2010 Audi S4 (B8) sedan Overview Manufacturer Production: 1991-1994: 1997-2002: 2003-2005: 2005-2008: 2008-2016: 2017-present Assembly, Body and chassis, Related The Audi S4 is the variant of 's. The original Audi S4, built from 1991 until 1994, was a performance-oriented version of Audi's. All subsequent S4s since 1997 have been based on the; and as the A4 has evolved from one generation to the next, so has the S4. A more powerful, larger upgraded brakes, firmer, larger wheels, and distinctive sheetmetal, styling clues and badging have always been amongst the many upgrades the S4 receives over its mainstream 100 and A4 siblings. In markets where the even higher-performance is not offered, the S4 is the top-of-the-line trim of the A4 family. Like its regular A4 counterpart, all S4 variants have had, engines.
A single 2.2-litre powered the original C4 version, and a 2.7-litre twin was found in the B5 generation. The B6 and B7 versions shared a common 4.2-litre, the first time that a V8 engine was placed in a compact executive car, placing it in direct competition with the which at the time had a 3.2 L. The B8 generation uses a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine and competes with the. The recently introduced B9 generation is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine, as opposed to a supercharger like in the previous iteration. All versions of the S4 have their mounted immediately at the rear of the engine in a longitudinal orientation, in the form of a, and like all, are only available as standard with Audi's (4WD) system, using a -based centre differential system.
All versions of the S4 have been manufactured at in, Germany; they are, or have been available as a four-door five-seat saloon and a five-door five-seat Avant (Audi's name for an ) since the model's inception in 1991. A two-door four-seat Cabriolet S4 variant was introduced as part of the B6 and B7 generation A4 lineups. The B8 Cabriolet has now been built off the A5 coupe body style and the 'S' variant is marketed under the nameplate. Audi B5 S4 sedan The second generation S4 ( Type 8D), now correctly titled Audi S4 quattro debuted in 1997, with factory production commencing October 1997, as part of the facelifted line-up, although it wasn't available in North America until late 1999. In addition to the (sedan), an version (wagon)–the Audi S4 Avant–was introduced into the lineup from 1998. Production of the B5 S4 ceased in September 2001, although it was still sold together with the next B6 platform generation through 2002 in North America.
Examples produced July 2001 to end of production are 2002 Model Year cars, the 10th digit of the VIN being the number '2'. Several years after it was sold new, the B5 S4 remains a potent enthusiast car, and as featured in the December 2007 issue of Sport Compact Car magazine, a Torque Factory tuned S4 won a comparison test against several other extreme performance cars. B5 powertrain The powertrain details of the B5 S4 feature a 2.7-litre ('biturbo') 90° third-generation (parts code prefix: 078, identification codes: ). Details of the powerplant include a with two lightweight. The includes 30 valves (five valves per cylinder), twin hybrid-driven ( and ) and for the inlet valves. The intake air is pressurized by two water-cooled K03-series turbochargers; the charged air is cooled by two side-mounted air-to-air (SMICs).
It displaces 2,671 cubic centimetres (163.0 cu in), and is rated to produce a motive power output of 195 kilowatts (265 PS; 261 bhp) at 5,800 (rpm), and generates 400 newton metres (295 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 1,850 rpm. Engine management was by way of a ME 7.1 (7.0 in North America) electronic (ECU), and helped it meet the European EU-3D emissions standard.
In all US-market cars, the engine was detuned to meet US emissions regulations; output was reduced to 187 kilowatts (254 PS; 251 bhp) and 350 newton metres (258 lbf⋅ft) (identification code: APB). As in the previous S4, a six-speed C90 (parts code prefix: 01E, identification code: DSY,: 1st: 3.500, 2nd: 1.889, 3rd: 1.231, 4th: 0.967, 5th: 0.806, 6th: 0.684) was standard equipment, as was the Torsen T-2 permanent system. Final drive (parts code prefix: 01H, identification code: DQA) ratio is 4.111. A five-speed (parts code prefix:01V) became available for the first time as an option. The B5 S4 claims acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 62.1 mph) in 5.6 seconds, and had an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph), making it both the quickest saloon/sedan in the Audi model line, and among the quickest saloon/sedans in the world at that time. B5 suspension, brakes, wheels & tires The B5 S4 is fitted with 4-wheel.
The front suspension is a design with four individual per wheel. The rear suspension is an design; the lower control arms are mounted to a which also carries the differential housing., and are fitted front and rear. The B5 S4 brake system consisted of radially ventilated discs, 321 millimetres (12.64 in) in diameter by 30 mm (1.18 in) thick up front, and 256 mm (10.08 in) by 22 mm (0.87 in) at the rear. Two-piston HP2 brake calipers at the front (with four pads per caliper), with Lucas single-piston sliding brake calipers at the rear.
A ABS 5.3 four-channel (with (EBD) and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) - and later with ESP or ), coupled with a completed the system. Standard wheels were Audi's six-arm 'Avus' 7.5Jx17H2 ET45, shod with 225/45 ZR17 performance tyres. B5 colors & optional equipment Available exterior colors included Brilliant Black, Laser Red, Light Silver, Cactus Green, Santorin Blue, Hibiscus Red, Casablanca White, Pearlescent White, Imola Yellow, and Nogaro Blue. The last two colors were exclusive to the S4 model.
Interior leather was available in Onyx or Silver. Don Istook, with Istook's Motorsports, built and campaigned several B5 S4's in first the Motorola Cup, and then the Grand Am Cup. The S4's were even raced by Istook's Motorsports in the Rolex GT category for several races to help fill the field. Of note, one of the S4's, racing against true GT cars, even ran as high as second place (in the rain) at Barber Motorsports Park. These S4's were built using existing S4, not RS4 engines, but utilized the B5 Audi RS4 K04 turbochargers.
B6 ( Typ 8E/8H, 2003–2005) Third generation (B6/8E/8H) Overview Production Mar 2003–Dec 2004 Feb 2004–Dec 2005 (Cabrio) Body and chassis 4-, 5-door (Avant), 2-door Related Powertrain 4.2 L 6-speed, 6-speed Dimensions 2,651 mm (104.4 in), Cabrio: 2,654 mm (104.5 in) Length 4,575 mm (180.1 in), Cabrio: 4,573 mm (180.0 in) Width 1,781 mm (70.1 in), Cabrio: 1,778 mm (70.0 in) Height 1,415 mm (55.7 in), Cabrio: 1,391 mm (54.8 in) saloon: 1,660 kg (3,660 lb) estate: 1,720 kg (3,792 lb) cabriolet: 1,855 kg (4,090 lb) Chronology Predecessor Audi B5 S4 Successor Audi B7 S4. Audi S4 Cabriolet (UK) The third generation Audi S4 quattro ( Typ 8E — saloon: 8E2, Avant: 8E5, and Cabriolet: 8H7) debuted its saloon and Avant bodystyles in Europe in March 2003, and appeared in North America slightly later.
This was based on the latest used by the then current. Despite having moved to an entirely new platform, one of the S4's most publicised new features was its new engine - a 4.2-litre. Following its initial launch of either a four-door five-seat saloon (sedan), or a five-door five-seat Avant (estate/wagon), it eventually became available in three bodystyles - and for the first time in the, from February 2004, a two-door four-seat Cabriolet , Typ 8H, was included in the. Official performance figures for standard discipline of sprinting from standstill to 100 kilometres per hour (62.1 mph) in the saloon with manual transmission are 5.6 seconds (Avant 5.8 s, Cabriolet 5.9 s), however, a road test conducted by the American automotive magazine indicated that it could go from a standstill to 60 mph (96.6 km/h) in less than 5 seconds, and make it to 200 km/h (124.3 mph) in slightly over 20 seconds, although doing this led to fuel consumption dipping into single digits. This was considerably worse than the earlier V6 models, leading to the addition of a $1,700 (combined 20.2 miles per US gallon (11.6 L/100 km; 24.3 mpg ‑imp)) for the six-speed manual sedan in the United States.
Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). The B6 S4 saloon and Avant variants ceased factory production in December 2004, with the Cabriolet ending twelve months later at December 2005. B6 powertrain Replacing the 2.7-litre ' of the previous generation B5 S4, the new B6 S4 powertrain gained an all- 4.2-litre, 40 valve (five valves per cylinder) (parts code prefix: 079.C, identification code: ), with chain-driven, roller-finger, and included. It also utilised a strengthened alloy bedplate for the five, and a two-part oil sump, and a light-alloy (VIM), containing the fractionally sequentially actuated. This petrol engine, based on the unit from the, displaces 4,163 cubic centimetres (254.0 cu in), and it produces a motive power output of 253 kilowatts (344 PS; 339 bhp) at 7,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), and generates torque of 410 newton metres (302 lbf⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm, making it more potent than the, and nearly as powerful as the. Engine management was by way of a ME 7.1.1 electronic (ECU), utilising a Bosch 'E-Gas' electronic throttle, and powering eight individual with longlife quad-electrode Bosch spark plugs.
Is a mapped direct ignition, with cylinder-selective knock control with the aid of four knock sensors. The exhaust system includes vacuum-operated valves in the twin rear (mufflers), finished with tail-pipes. Like its predecessors, the B6 S4 was standard with a six-speed (M6S) manual transmission (parts code prefix: 0A3, identification codes: FVD, HEP) ( - 1st: 3.667, 2nd: 2.050, 3rd: 1.462, 4th: 1.133, 5th: 0.919, 6th: 0.778), with a 240 millimetre single plate dry, and T-2 permanent system. Final drive (parts code prefix: 01R, identification code: EXZ) ratios are 3.889, giving a top gear road speed to engine revs ratio of 24.4 miles per hour (39.3 km/h) per 1000 rpm. From July 2003, the (parts code prefix: 09L, identification codes: GUR, HHU) (ratios - 1st: 4.171, 2nd: 2.340, 3rd: 1.521, 4th: 1.143, 5th: 0.867, 6th: 0.691, with a final drive (identification code: GDF) ratio of 3.539) was included as an option.
An unusual sight in the engine compartment was the addition of for the 190, along with two additional -controlled side-mounted. B6 steering, brakes, wheels & tyres The B6 S4 came equipped with electronically controlled, variable assisted ' rack and pinion (PAS) as standard. B6 S4 brakes consisted of radially ventilated front and rear. The front discs are sized at 345 millimetres (13.58 in) in diameter by 30 mm (1.181 in) thick, and are clamped by FNRG-60 single-piston sliding. The rears are 300 mm (11.81 in) by 22 mm (0.866 in), and again use single-piston sliding calipers, with an integrated cable-operated mechanism. A ESP 5.7 system, complete with (ABS), (EBD), (EBA), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) - also known as, coupled with a dual-rate tandem provided the brake actuation. Standard were 'Avus-III' aluminium alloy, 8.0Jx18H2 ET45 in size, and shod with 235/40 ZR18 95Y XL (eXtra Load) high performance tyres, with factory supplies being either SportContact2 or PilotSport PS2.
B6 body & interior Discrete lower door trims, along with the now trademark vertical-emphasis line grille, and solid aluminium (later replaced with plastic covered by aluminium) exterior, and S4 badging front and rear are all that visually distinguish the S4 from its related A4 brethren. In the interior, front and rear (fronts fully electric with the option of heated seats), standard trims, as well as S4 logos in the instrument panel and door sills complete the detail. Audi S4 Avant quattro (8ED, Europe) The Audi B7 platform Audi S4 quattro, based on the, debuted in late 2004. Although Audi classifies it as a new car, the differences between it and the outgoing B6 S4 casually appear to be primarily cosmetic, and is still classified by the internal designation: Typ 8E (although with revised sub-designations - saloon: 8EC, Avant: 8ED, and Cabriolet: 8HE). It has the same 4.2-litre (identification code: ) as the B6 S4, producing a power output of 253 kilowatts (344 PS; 339 bhp) at 7,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), and 410 newton metres (302 lbf⋅ft) torque at 3,500 rpm. There are a few mechanical changes, such as revised springs and dampers and, from 2007, an updated T-3 automatically biasing centre differential, featuring a 'default' asymmetric 40:60 front-rear torque split on manual transmission models, along with the later ESP 8.0 and gloss black painted. The 'Avus-III' wheels now became an option, and were replaced by a standard offering 8.0Jx18 inch 'S-design' 7-spoke forged.
Sound system is now standard, whereas it was optional on the B6 S4, and an enhanced optional -based RNS-E satellite navigation system replaces the previous -based RNS-D option. The new single-frame grille, Bi- (HID) headlamps, L-shaped tail-lamps, quad exhaust tail pipes, and discrete V8 badging below the side repeater indicators help distinguish the B7 from the previous B6 model.
Audi 'S4 25quattro' special edition (8EC) In June 2005, Audi announced a limited edition run of 250 special edition S4 saloon cars, celebrating 25 years of four wheel drive. This exclusive model was called the Audi S4 25quattro. Available only in the United States, the exterior has unique front and rear bumpers, a boot lip spoiler and lower front splitter, a rear functional red tow hook, and a high gloss Phantom Black painted grille with the 'quattro' emblem. 15-spoke DTM alloy wheels, along with optional dealer-fitted 'Audi four-rings' decals for the front doors complete the exterior makeover. Black and grey contrasting interior leathers, along with 'quattro' embossed into the seats, together with a '1 of 250' exclusive quattro gear shift knob for the manual-only gearbox define the interior changes and act as a subtle reminder of the exclusivity that the limited numbers command. On the mechanical side, the S4 25quattro was the second Audi, after the to be fitted with the latest T-3 asymmetric ATB centre differential for its quattro permanent four-wheel drive system.
Under normal grip conditions, this is set with a default rearwards torque distribution bias of 40:60 front to rear, and a maximum of 100% torque can automatically be apportioned to the rear axle (and up to 80% to the front) as conditions warrant. The final drive ratios are 3.889. Audi S4 Avant (B8/8K, South Africa) From November 2008, the latest generation of the 'Audi S4 quattro' ( Typ 8K) entered factory production. It is based on the current, built on the. Unlike the previous B6 and B7 models, the new B8 version will only be available as a four-door five-seat saloon (sedan), or a five-door five-seat Avant (estate/wagon).
The sport-performance two-door four-seat Cabriolet mantle is now taken by the current Cabriolet and new Coupe. Unlike previous generations of the S4, only the sedan will be imported to the United States and Canada. Compared to the previous B6/B7 S4 which used a 4.2-litre, this latest B8 S4 utilises a smaller 3.0-litre TFSI, but now with the addition of via an Eaton mechanical. The previous B6/B7 S4s were the top-of-the-line models in North America, ahead of the 3.2L V6 and 4-cylinder 2.0T A4s, and competed with the BMW M3. The 3.0 TFSI V6 engine replaces the as the upgrade engine in the A4 and A6 lineups starting for 2009; both the 3.2-litre FSI and 3.0 TFSI were offered together until the end of the 2010 model year.
The 3.2L V6 engine is no longer offered in the A4 lineup from the 2011 model year onwards, so the recently introduced B8 S4 is now priced 9% lower than its V8 predecessors, and slots directly above the 4-cylinder 2.0T base model. The S4 now compares more closely with the. Previously unavailable enthusiast driver aids are now optional, such as Audi's Sport Rear Differential, active steering and adaptive damping suspension (part of the Audi Drive Select Package). The front axle was moved by 6.1 inches to the front, which improved the weight distribution of the B8 Platform.
Combined with the Sport Rear Differential Audi was able to greatly improve the weight balance and dynamics of the S4 over previous models. A new designed wheel is included on the B8 S4, an 8.5Jx18' '5-double-spoke S' design with 245/40 ZR18 high performance tyres. Optional 19 inch wheel and tyre packages are also available, sized at 8.5Jx19' alloy wheels with 255/35 ZR19 tyres. LED tail lights are standard fitment, along with Audi's now-trademark LED daytime running lights at the front. The S4 along with the other B8 models received a facelift in early 2012. This included a revised front-end with new headlights and grille, an updated interior, and upgraded options.
Mechanically, the facelift B8 (known colloquially as the B8.5) was upgraded with electromagnetic steering and a lighter crown gear center differential. B8 powertrain At the heart of the B8 S4 powertrain is an all-new, all 3.0-litre TFSI (parts code prefix: 06E, identification code: ), and like the rest of the B8 model range, now with (FSI). This petrol engine 2,995 cubic centimetres (182.8 cu in), and it is rated by Audi to a power output of 245 kilowatts (333 PS; 329 bhp) from 5,500 to 7,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Torque is rated at 440 newton metres (325 lbf⋅ft) from 2,900 to 5,300 rpm. This high power output is achieved by utilising – and specifically, an all-new (TVS) positive displacement compressor. This new supercharger features twin four-lobe rotors, which are axially twisted 160 degrees.
It is mounted on top of the engine, within the 'Vee', pumping air directly into the inlet manifold, and incorporates two separate. This new design of supercharger is said to reduce the (NVH) of the engine. This engine is mated to either a six-speed (identification code: KMR) or a seven-speed ' DL501 (identification code: LHK), the latter with steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters for gear selection, which replaces the Tiptronic automatic transmissions found in the B6/B7 iterations. The 'Audi quattro Sports differential' fitted in the rear axle final drive unit is available as an option. Acceleration from standstill to 100 kilometres per hour (62.1 mph) takes 5.1 seconds for the saloon with manual gearbox, the Avant one tenth of a second slower at 5.2 seconds. The same dash to 100 km/h in the saloon with S tronic takes 5.3 seconds, and the Avant at 5.4 seconds.
The top speed is electronically limited to 250 kilometres per hour (155.3 mph). However a comparison in the American automotive magazine ' showed the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.5 seconds for the 6-speed manual transmission. With figures like these, the B8 S4 accelerates more quickly than its V8-engined predecessors. Audi of America claims that the version of the S4 achieves 28 highway miles per gallon, and a 0 to 60 miles per hour (96.6 km/h) acceleration time of 4.9 seconds with the manual transmission and 5.1 seconds with the S tronic. Fuel consumption is rated at a combined 24.2 miles per US gallon (9.7 L/100 km; 29.1 mpg ‑imp). Therefore, the B8 S4, unlike the V8-powered B6/7 models, avoids the US. The B8 S4's 3.0 TFSI engine also gets only 1 m.p.g.
Less than the base 2.0 TFSI engine. This is one of the most important reasons for Audi to downsize their engines, while keeping the output equivalent better, by using forced-induction such as supercharging or turbocharging.
Audi S4 B7 Avant
The same engine is shared with the Cabriolet (though the 7-speed S Tronic is the sole transmission) and the 2013 Audi S5 Coupe. Detuned versions of this engine making 310 hp (231 kW) are found in the mated to a 6-speed TipTronic automatic transmission, the 2012 Audi A6 3.0 TFSI (C7) and 2012 3.0 TFSI, the latter two which are paired with an 8-speed TipTronic automatic.
Motorsport In, has currently entered a B8 S4 in the Grand-Am Grand Sport (GS) class. B9 ( Type 8W, 2017–present). Audi A4 8W (IAA) in Frankfurt Audi announced the B9 S4 in 2015, with the official unveiling of the European-spec model at the 2015.
Noticeable changes to the B9 included a modernised, more angular exterior, newly designed wheels, and a new turbocharged V6 engine. Unlike the pre-facelift B8 S4, the announced European-spec model is only available with an 8-speed torque converter automatic (ZF 8HP55a).
The new model utilises LED main-beam and LED daytime running lights as standard, alongside dynamic turn signals and LED tail-lights. As standard, the B9 S4 features 18-inch 5 double-spoke wheels with summer tires. New owners could also choose optional 19-inch 5 V-spoke wheels. The B9's brakes use multi-piston calipers, replacing the single-piston sliding calipers of earlier models. LED headlights are standard while a flat-bottomed steering wheel, 'S' embossed seats, and quad tailpipes differentiate the S4 from the B9 A4. B9 powertrain The current generation S4 is powered by a 354 brake horsepower (359 PS; 264 kW) 3.0L V6 with petrol direct injection and a single turbo EA839 engine. The engine utilises reverse flow heads, which place the exhaust ports inside the V of the engine; this is a similar arrangement to the twin-turbo V8 engines used in Audi's S6 and S7.
