I used to have an Imola Yellow S4 saloon, was a lovely car! Although rather inert and IMHO the lack of engagement didn't equal the running costs (fuel, aux radiators etc). I only kept for a year. My current car (335i) I've had for over 6 years, although I do hanker after some Audi build and interior quality. The S4 was built like a tank!

I would say though that the article is inaccurate, the S4 V8 engine is hugely different to the RS4/R8 V8. The S4 V8 has 40 valves, the RS4 had 32 to make way for the direct injection, as well as active baffled sump and various other differences to allow the higher rev range.

Apologies, you're right! I meant to say that a V8 had been used in previous S4s, not that specific one. Thanks for pointing it out. Imola Yellow looks great too!
