The standard HP output in the "Euro" S4:s  (1992-1995) is the same for 
the Automatic as for the manual gerbox. 230 Hp.

I really don't know about the US models. I do know that the RS2 does not 
come with an Automatic transmission but only a 6 speed manual. I think 
(but I'm not sure) the S6 plus comes with a Tiptronic transmission.
