2010 S4 revealed... could the engine make it into a 1-series fighter?
I really am a fan of audi’s new designs; will this be better than a 6-speed (or 7-speed dual clutch) bmw 335 though? At least the fuel economy won’t be as miserable as the big 4.2 8-cyl from the older S’s. Hopefully this engine will make it into the TT!

Wait...
"The German automaker says it prefers the combination of gasoline direct injection and supercharging for the new V-6, as opposed to going the twin-turbocharger (both super- and turbocharged) route" What?:iono:

isn't the S4 supposed to be an M3-fighter? it cant possibly fight the 1 series unless they offered it at around $40k...
edit: i just reread the performance numbers...those will significantly lag the M3 and even the 135i if those are the true production numbers....what are they up to? |

Audi are saying they prefer to use a petrol engine with direct injection and just a supercharger.

^^ Not to mention the A4/S4 is much bigger than a 1 series. It competes with the 3er. So the S4 is a competitor to the 335i. Not the M3 as that has to take on the RS4 when it is released.
If Audi wanted to compete with the 1er coupe they would need to come up with something new in the A3 range. The S3 competes with the 130i hatch but they don't have anything to directly compete with the coupe yet.

Wow that is plain stupid. Even more reasons to get a nicer car, BMW But I'm not a big fan of Audi nor their designs really. They seem too plain and boring to me and their cars look so identicle. But as for the OP, I don't think that engine will be the 1-series fighter. They already have a 1-series fighter, I think the title should be more along the lines of a 135i fighter.
