The all-new S4 will be available in late August, starting at $46,725 with a manual transmission or $48,125 with Audi's S tronic. (All prices include an $825 destination charge.) The S4, which Audi pits against the BMW 335i and Mercedes-Benz C350, is equipped with Audi's direct-injected, supercharged 3.0T V-6, which makes 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. With a manual transmission, Audi claims the S4 will dash to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds (0.4 seconds faster than the 2009 model) while returning a respectable 18 miles per gallon city and 27 mpg highway (compared to the 2009 S4's 13 mpg city/20 mpg highway).
Standard features on the S4 include embossed, heated front sport seats, unique bumpers and front grille, 18-inch wheels, Audi's iconic LED tail lights and front xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights, rear-biased 40:60 quattro all-wheel drive, stainless steel and carbon fiber interior trim, Bluetooth, SIRIUS satellite radio, and Audi's "iPod Interface."
Audi also revealed pricing for the 2010 Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet, which will arrive at dealers in late fall. The front-wheel drive A5 Cabriolet equipped with the Audi's 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder and multitronic continuously variable transmission will cost $42,825. Opting for a tiptronic 6-speed automatic and quattro all-wheel drive drives the price up to $44,925. The S5, which gets the 3.0T from the S4, starts at $59,075. In this application, Audi's V-6 propels the S5 from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds
The A5/S5 Cabriolet features a cloth acoustic roof that folds in 15 seconds at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Active roll bars behind the seats, front, knee, and seat-mounted side airbags and stability control are all standard safety features for Audi's newest convertible.
