The new Audi S4 - Supreme power and superior handling

[GTaudiophile]

Beautiful car! I'll take one S4 and one S4 Avant!

Think there's any room to shoehorn the twin turbo setup from the RS6 in there?

IMHO Audi is not doing the right thing: instead of improving the 2.7tt, they just slap the A8/S8's 4.2 into a smaller car, such a heavy V8 engine will throw the handling way off (unless Audi makes the rear heavier to achieve the near 50/50 FR ratio, but that would be as inefficient as putting a chevy big block in a civic while adding a ton of concrete in the rear.)

in that aspect I lose some respect to audi.

From the article:

"The entire V8, with a gross weight of just 195 kilograms, is just as light as its predecessor in the previous S4, a twin-turbo 2.7-litre V6 engine. This results in major benefits for the weight balance and handling characteristics.

oh well, an ownage well-deserved indeed. it seems NFS4 is getting kicks out of it more than N8magic intended though.
