Sure to send shivers of inferiority down the spines of its competitors, the 2008 Audi S4 places control of a real driving machine in the hands of its owner. A high revving V8 engine which displaces 4.2 Liters and generates 340hp at 7000rpm, and spins 302 ft-lb of torque at 3500rpm turns this Quattro into a stunning performer. The S4 comes with a 6-speed automatic or a faster 6-speed manual. For 2008, the S4 shines as a 4-door sedan, a wagon, or a Cabriolet.

Not satisfied with anything but the complete package? The S4 cockpit hums with advanced technology, including a hook-up for a Bluetooth phone, Sirius Satellite Radio, and Quattro all-wheel drive, all standard. From the advanced instrumentation, leather upholstery, wood and alloy accents, and convenient storage compartments, Audi engineers tried to accomplish the admirable task of giving you everything. The driver's domain is even more than expected with excellent visibility, comfortable seating, and everything at fingertip's reach.

Power and performance are tempered with the ultimate in safety features, including driver and front passenger airbags, side impact rear passenger airbags, and side curtain airbags. Crumple zones and steel reinforced door beams protect the passengers from any intrusion into their space. The gorgeous exterior of the 2008 Audi S4 is accentuated by large air intake vanes up front, with attractive headlight treatments. Swinging to the rear, the tail lights are sparkling gem-like masterpieces only Tiffany could compete with. For a sporty accent, the sedan offers a rear spoiler.

On the road, whether searing superhighway, or country junction, the 2008 Audi S4 absorbs the bumps while pushing back with sports tuned suspension. By lowering the vehicle an inch and stiffening up the shocks, the S4 handles the rougher roads with more spirit. No telling where you will end up when you let your adventurous side free in the 2008 Audi S4.
