The numbers above are due to a new gearbox, an 8-speed automatic with torque converter. The Quattro AWD can send up to 85% of torque to the rear and 70% to the front depending on the driving situation. In Normal mode, it sends 60% to the rear and 40% to the front wheels.
The new S4 is 0.9 inch lower than a standard A4 due to its 18-inch wheels and 245/50 tires. It also features sport suspension and damping control and weighs only 3,594 pounds thanks to the MLB EVO platform.
The make it look different than the A4 models, the S4 gets new front fascia, aluminum-like mirrors, side skirts, and a new rear bumper.
