  Audi S4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Audi was re-configuring its lineup during the early 1990s, and introduced the S4 in 1991 (1992 in North America) as the performance version of the re-styled 100 sedan.
The S4 was sold worldwide with a turbocharged version of Audi's 2.2 L (2226 cc), 20-valve inline-5 engine developing 230 PS (227 hp/169 kW) and 350 N·m (258 ft·lbf) of torque.
Although Audi classifies it as a new car, the differences between it and the outgoing B6 S4 are primarily cosmetic.

After Audi dropped the 100 nameplate and re-badged the car as A6 in 1994, the S4 became the S6, although the only real changes to the model were minor cosmetic updates and the addition of a more powerful S6 Plus model to the lineup.

 Audi S4 Avant
Audi is right in between getting hot and flaming out, and I'm not sure it can progress to the next level occupied by BMW and Mercedes-Benz or whether it'll inevitably remain a very good, but definitely smaller, competitor to the Big Two of German luxury cars.
Finally, the S4 Avant is the fifth wagon in Audi's U.S. lineup, joining the two other A4 models, the cheaper but bigger $37,350 A6 Avant and the just-available $41,900 allroad quattro model.
Whether Audi, with sales at half the level or less of BMW and Mercedes, can support all these variations on its contemporary German performance-luxury theme remains to be seen.

 2004 Audi S4 | Advance Auto Parts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Audi engineers skillfully trimmed some bulk (moving drive accessories to the rear of the engine), some length (it's two inches shorter), and pared weight (thanks to lighter pistons and conrods) off the 4.2-liter sleeveless, aluminum-silicon block V-8 and replaced its wide, toothed-belt cam drive with a thinner roller chain.
Audi stood side-by-side with BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the Fatherland, but the unintended acceleration debacle in the Eighties shredded the brand's credibility over here, reduced its volume to just over 12,000 units annually and relegated the interlocking-ring badge to the second tier.
Audi claims fuel consumption is improved in the higher gears and, despite the extra ratio, the box weighs about 42 pounds less than its five-speed predecessor.

 2005 Audi S4 - Features - European Car Magazine
The heart of the new Audi S4 is its engine-a tremendously powerful V8 with a displacement of 4.2 liters and a five-valve cylinder head.
S4 models can also be identified from the side by sills in the same color as the body, contrasting lower door skirts and the characteristic 18-in.
There are S4 badges on the nose and tail, on the door sill trims, in the instrument cluster, on the dashboard and on the newly designed three-spoke sports steering wheel.

The bottom line: The 2006 Audi S4 commands a hefty premium over the standard A4, and although the cabin gadgets are similar, the performance gain is worth it.
The 2006 Audi S4 attempts to one-up the much-lauded BMW M3 by using the tried-and-true muscle-car practice of stuffing a larger car's V-8 under a smaller car's hood.
The component that puts the 2006 Audi S4 in a different league than the A4 is of course the motor.

 Audi S4
Audi wanted to produce a high performance variant of the very popular Audi A4, so they produced the Audi S4 with the first generation hitting the streets in 1991.
The S4 was a high performance restyling of the 100 sedan and it took the place of the 200 Turbo Quattro sedan that had ceased being produced in 1990.
In 1994 the S4 became the S6, although the only real changes to the vehicle were cosmetic as well as a powerful S6 model that was added to the vehicle lineup.

After Audi dropped the 100 line in 1994 and re-lined the car as the A6 the S4 became the S6 - changes to the model were minor cosmetic updates and the addition of a more powerful S6 Plus model to the lineup.
Release 2 of the Audi S4 appeared in 1997 as part of the B5 platform A4 line-up, although the S4 was no longer available with a V8.
The Audi S4 B7 platform is the current version - the differences between it and the previous B6 S4 are primarily cosmetic.

 Cars - Audi S4
The S4 could accelerate up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 5.6 seconds and had an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), making it both the quickest sedan in the Audi model line and among the quickest sedans in the world at that time.
Replacing the 2.7 L twin-turbocharged V6 engine of the previous generation S4 was a 4.2 L, 40-valve V8 based on the unit from the A8
Audi has, however, made a few notable changes, including adding new springs and dampers to the suspension and re-calibrating the quattro system to maintain a 40:60 front-to-rear torque split under normal conditions.

The new S4 is a much more sophisticated package, less of a wild child than the twin turbo but just as much fun – a smooth operator.

The top speed of the S4 is electronically limited to 143 mph, (230 km/h), and while not the most miserly of any sport sedan I’ve driven, fuel stops were required less frequently than I anticipated.

 2005 Audi S4 Avant Review
The A4 and S4 are Audis, and Audi has been a pioneer in both front-and all-wheel drive technology.
The S4 is the latest embodiment of that uniquely Audi concept, the ``silken rocket.'' Even with its standard sport-tuned suspension, the S4 is softer and more comfortable than some of its competitors, making it a fine car for a long road trip.
The A4/S4 version of Audi's MMI multi-mode interface, placed in the stack, is as simple and intuitive to use as that in the A6 or A8, and controls the audio and navigation systems, with dual-zone climate controls separate.
