Audi S4 - Supercharged V6 | Test Drive Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Supercharged Audi S4 is arguably one of the best daily drivers of all time, impeccably balancing sport and comfort. All this despite sitting squarely below the top offering--the Audi RS5. How does the first supercharged S4 compare to the NA V8 that it replaced? With this being the last manual S4--how is the full auto transmission? How does the S4 stack up against the BMW 335i, Mercedes C350, Infiniti G37s and Lexus Is350? The B8 / B8.5 S4 is put to the task.

my S4 stock was great, my S4 tuned is amazing I'm never selling the thing. There's a big difference. And the best mod imo is a rear sway bar with solid end links, this resolves the understeer problem.
One huge plus you didn't mention about the audi that resolved the "too tame" con - this is a very extensively tuned platform - there are a significant number of tuners that offer stage 1 maps that really put the car alive, more often than not S4s are tuned with a cold air intake, which makes the supercharger noticeably louder 👍
Stage 2 tune and a couple bolt-on and these push 500hp easily, my S5 0-60 in 3.6-3.7s and has plenty of supercharger whine. In terms of a comfortable, fast, modular and reliable car goes, the S4/5 is the best.
I don’t know mannnn 2014 s4 with a intake singsss🎤 but amazing video 🔥

Thank you very much for the kind words! Really appreciate you watching
Add stage 1 tune and cold air intake tube is mandatory. Whines like a 3 year old and makes a lot more power.

I hear stage 1 really wakes it up. Great British video on putting a stage 1 tune in a S4 Avant and having to immediately keep pace with an same generation RS4. Apparently Audi bleeds off the boost as the revs come up to keep the performance gap in place. The tuner are more than happy to change that...
I prefer the 2door over the 4door. Looks better

Agreed, but keep on mind the S5 is only a 4 seater... For some folks that a deal breaker.
4:15 , no audio .

Audios there, sub optimal despite me trying to amplify it in production. Something happened with the mic that ruined majority of footage shot that day. Hate that it came on mono for that stretch, thanks for catching.
