First Drive: 2013 Audi S4
A Standalone Sleeper Sport Sedan That Still Keeps Us Awake At Night
The always-bustling stand at next month’s figures to be cluttered with a full range of eighth-generation models, all of which arrive in the States sometime between June and July. The line’s real marquee model is, of course, the RS4, but that Rennsport ingredient will not be seen on the stand in Cobo just yet. (So let’s change that to almost full range, and some sources are saying that there will not even be an RS4 this go-round.) The sauciest A4 present will be this model, the new S4, considered by many – this reviewer included – to be the real gem of the range, especially in comparison to the seriously costly RS4.
It’s best to call this the “latest” S4, because it is definitely not all-new. However, it does partake of the mid-cycle changes to the “B8″ eighth-generation, some of which we recently addressed in a first drive of the and . For now, though, we really don’t need big changes – we’ll be happy if the S4 remains our lower-volume secret.
