B8 Audi S4 will come with supercharged V6

B7 Audi S4

German car magazine Auto Motor und Sport reports that Audi will be replacing it’s 344 horsepower 4.2 litre V8 found in the Audi S4 and other cars with a forced inducted V6 instead, in line with the global trend of engine displacement downsizing and making up for it with highly efficient forced induction. The RS4 will retain a large V8 engine.

The blower of choice for the replacement engine is a supercharger, which will bring the rumoured 3.0 litre FSI V6 to about 350 horsepower. A 290 horsepower, 420Nm of torque version of the engine is also in the works for less high-powered cars like the Audi A6, giving a fuel economy of 9.6 litres per 100km on average.

Shown above is the B7 Audi S4, which the B8 Audi S4 will replace.

    azrai good suggestion since we dont have much on proton from PT, :-). But I think p1 should look more into refinement now rather than mere facelift.

    This one is one bloody good machine i must say!

    As pT mentioned, this is the B7 version. Wait till you see the B8 version of the Audi range. It will blow your mind off in contemporary looks and sexiness.
    Every curves and angles in the car’s exterior outlook has both form and function.
    Nat.cars should have an identity of their own.An entity that sticks on. Not like the adopted Alfa front grill on the perdana, and then the mundane look of the Iswara. The so call Wau/kite design of the Persona/Gen2 looks plain, and easily could be mistaken with any makes of cars. The proton’s tiger logo is adopted from a cartoon series “thundercats” ..so, apa lagi ke-unikan yang ada? Atau identiti yang bolih dibanggakan?
    Setakat nak celup je..baik jangan di bincang tak nak jual Proton sebab ada nilai-nilai kebangasaan….apake benda ini..?

    Sorry, off track..
