The 2007 Audi S4, the newest version of the performance car that debuted in
2004, comes in three different body styles - the sedan, the Avant wagon, and the
Cabriolet convertible - all of which come with specially designed 18-inch
wheels, and standard sunroofs (on the sedan and wagon).
All versions of the S4 have 340 horsepower, 252 cubic inch V8 engines, and all
three body styles also come with Audi's version of all-wheel drive, which
they've named "Quattro." In addition, drivers can choose between a six-speed
manual transmission, or a six-speed automatic transmission with Audi's "Tiptronic"
technology allowing the option to manually shift gears. All the S4's also come
with traction control for more stability, and since all models have high amounts
of aluminum in their suspensions, the overall mass of these cars is lower than
one might expect.
Inside the car is Audi's customary dark interior, though the cow-hide front
seats are adjustable in 12 different ways (all powered), and were designed by
Recaro, the company known for race car seating. All S4's are Bluetooth-enabled,
and pre-wired for satellite radio, and navigational systems, Bose stereo
systems, and heating for those afore-mentioned seats are optional upgrades.
Both the sedan and the Avant offer seating for a total of five people, with
seats for four in the Cabriolet. All have anti-lock brakes and airbag protection
for the driver and front passenger (front and side), while backseat side-impact
airbags are only available as an upgrade. In addition, the Cabriolet includes an
active rollover protection system which deploys metal hoops behind the rear
seats in the event of an emergency.
Starting MSRPs for the 2007 Audi S4 cars range from $47,500 to $55,700,
depending on the body style. |
