The S4 of the B5 platform was formally shown for the first time at the IAA 1997. It has a 2.7-liter V-6 turbo engine with a maximum power of 195 kW (265 hp) at 5800 min -1 and a maximum torque of 400 Nm 1850-3600 min -1 . It takes 5.6 seconds from 0-100 km / h (Avant 5.7 seconds). The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. The power is transferred to the road by Audi's all-wheel drive (quattro). It is shifted with a six-speed manual transmission. An automatic transmission (Tiptronic in connection with steering wheel gearshift as well as in connection with a power reduction to a maximum output of 184 kW / 250 PS) was only available for the foreign market. The S4 B5 was available as a sedan or station wagon ( Avant ).

The trademarks of the S models are the logos on the radiator grille and rear, the modified bumpers and the aluminum exterior mirror housings. The latter, however, were only installed towards the end of the B5 series.

Like the A4 B5, the S4 received a facelift in early 1999 . The S4 received one-piece clear glass headlights (xenon; previously special two-piece xenon clear glass headlights reserved for the S4), a new rear bumper and a slightly modified front bumper (oval instead of round fog lights).

Formally presented for the first time at the Mondial de l'Automobile 2002 on the B6 platform and came onto the market in early 2003. The 4.2-liter V8 - induction engine based on the engine of the Audi S8 (D2) and makes the S4 a maximum of 253 kW (344 hp). It was shortened by 52 mm in order to be able to accommodate it in the engine compartment of the mid-range car. For this purpose, the camshaft drive was relocated to the clutch side and the camshafts were driven by chains instead of toothed belts .

Externally, the vehicle differs from the normal A4 variants in terms of modified front and rear bumpers, exterior mirrors in aluminum gloss, protruding door bumpers, S4 emblems and larger tailpipes. From the factory, this S4 rolls on 18-inch wheels and 235/40 ZR 18 tires and is 20 millimeters lower.

The S4 has door sills with S4 lettering, a modified instrument cluster with white pointers, sports seats and xenon headlights as standard .

The car in the version with six-speed manual gearbox accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 5.6 seconds (Avant: 5.8 s; Cabriolet: 5.9 s), according to the factory. The automatic transmission variants need between 0.2 and 0.3 seconds longer for this. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h.

Like its predecessor, the vehicle is equipped as standard with Torsen all-wheel drive ( quattro ) with symmetrical torque distribution (50:50) between the front and rear wheels. It is shifted with a fully synchronized six-speed manual gearbox or with an optional six- speed automatic gearbox ( Tiptronic ), which can be switched using rocker buttons on the steering wheel.

From the B6 generation, the S4 was available as a convertible in addition to the sedan and station wagon.

The S4 B7 was again presented at the Mondial de l'Automobile in October 2004 for the facelift of the Audi A4 B6 as a sedan and avant. The cabriolet appeared in early 2006, which is why the construction time for the B6 and B7 also overlapped.

Compared to the B6, the design and chassis components have been revised. As in its predecessor, the engine has a maximum output of 253 kW (344 hp) and is offered with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. An automatic transmission was available as an option.

Externally, this S4 looks like the "normal" A4 at first glance thanks to the identical front and rear bumpers of the S line exterior package. Only the modified radiator grille, the aluminum-look exterior mirrors, flared door bumpers and four oval tailpipes set this S4 apart from the other models.

The base price was around 54,000 euros (Avant around 55,000 euros; Cabriolet 62,000 euros). (As of January 2006)

In 2005, on the occasion of the 25th production anniversary of the Audi Quattro, Audi sold a special edition of the Audi S4, limited to 250 pieces, which was fitted with the bumpers of the special model known in Europe as the Audi A4 DTM Edition. The drive, however, remained identical to the rest of the Audi S4 of the model year.
