Ah, the 2018 Audi S4, continuing proof that good things come in small packages. Yes, I know, they’ve gotten bigger since the first iteration, and yes, I know, they are more complex than they used to be, but these little brutes are still a total hoot, and giant killers to the unsuspecting.
The recipe applied to the Audi S4 is one as old as time, or, more accurately, as old as the automobile itself: Step 1 – Find a small car; Step 2 – Find the biggest motor that will fit into the engine bay of small car (see Step 1); Step 3 – Stuff big engine into small car; Step 4 – Enjoy!
Step 5 is optional: Have contact info of Priest, Rabbi, Minister, or Mortician handy. Not So Ordinary
Audi has been at this for a time, with varying degrees of success/reliability/sanity. Didn’t they cram a little V8 into an S4 at one point" Or was that the RS" At any rate, the S4 stands as both a too fun car to drive and a testament that Audi is anything but a stodgy, engineering-based German car company. Remember, these are the yahoos that created the Sport Quattro S1 E2 and handed it to non compos mentis types like Walter Röhrl and Michèle Mouton and said, “see how fast you can make it to the top of that mountain.”
They were also the same people that put the drivetrain from the Allroad into an S4, and, c’mon, that’s kind of dumb (from a reliability standpoint).
Right, so her...
