New Audi S4 update
So the engine from the S6 (4.2 liter V8 making 360HP) sounds like it will be brought down to 4.0 liters, stay normally aspirated and make at least 350 HP.
That same engine will be fitted with 2 turbos later for the ultimate A4, the RS4 making another 100HP on top of that, or so. 19 inch wheels also.
The S4 will have dual crystal windshields and other technologies to make this car drive as smooth as possible (like a Lexus). And not follow the M3 philosophy.
That bad thing is that this car is yet ANOTHER YEAR from its intro in Europe and it sounds like we wont get it before they do. I thought this car would be ready in another 3-5 months. Hmmm...

Anyone care to elaborate?

The M3 philosophy is more leaning towards sporty/harsh driving. And this S4 will lean the other way. Towards a smoother ride (ala Lexus).
