During the Frankfurt Auto Show, Audi revealed their 2017 version of the S4 sedan and wagon. Even if it looks like the car you know, it features a lot of technological changes that make it different than its past versions.

Following the turbocharged trends, the 2017 S4 gets a direct-inject turbocharged 3-liter V6 engine capable of producing 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Its top speed is capped at 155 mph and can reach 62 mph in 4.7 seconds.

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.

Buyers in Europe can choose the sedan or wagon version but those from the US will be able to get the 2017 sedan after the middle of 2016.
