AUDI S4

At the 2015 Frankfurt Motorshow, Audi unveiled the fifth generation of the compact-sedan vehicle A4. Along with the rest of the range, it also showed the S4 version.

Since the world financial crisis was over, the German automaker Audi dared to launch a refreshed version of the entire ninth-generation A4 lineup in 2012, including the S4 version.

The 2008 S4 was the top-performer model in the Audi A4 range. It was introduced in late 2008 as a 2009 model and it lost the 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a supercharged 3.0-liter V6.

Along with the new generation A4 and A4 Avant, Audi introduced its refreshed performance model, the Audi S4.

The third generation of the Audi S4 was based on the Audi A4 B6 model and even if it lived only for less than two years, it remained the A4 with the biggest engine installed on it by the factory.

In 1997, Audi introduced its second generation of the Audi S4. It was a true competitor in the compact-executive sports car, running against the BMW M3 or the Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG.
