This next-generation Audi S4 could be the super-saloon that ends the German power wars.
Our spies have caught the 2010 S4 undergoing high-speed testing at the Nurburgring and sources suggest that there’s a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 under the bonnet instead of the current model’s V8.
Insiders tell us that Audi wants to reduce the weight and improve the fuel economy of its new S4, while offering performance that’s on a par with the current models.
Meanwhile, it looks as though the range-topping RS4, likely to arrive in 2011, will retain its V8 in an effort to separate the appeal of the two variants.
Audi sees the new S4 as a rival for the likes of BMW’s 335i while the next RS4 will take the fight to the M3.
