i have recently talked to the (nz) importer of audi to confirm the status of the s4....
it will be a 2.7 litre twin turbo v6 with 265hp tuned for low-down grunt and driveability. delivery in nz has been promised for december but apparently the importers are not holding their breath for it. as it is being produced by the same factory which turns out the a3 and a4 and has experienced delays bringing the a3 to market, the importers expect nz sales to be q1 1998.
it will have a 6 speed manual with a 5 speed auto option (not known whether this is tiptonic at this point), and will have quite different gearing for the auto. maximum speed will be around the 250km/hr mark. it will have audisport badging.
list price not known but will be aimed to compete with the m3. expect about $140k nzd.
