Audi S4 Cabriolet Debuts in Germany
Audi aims to whet enthusiasts' appetites with the world introduction of two performance models, the S4 Cabriolet and the Q7 S line. Both models are expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships as '07 models.
The S4 Cabriolet is a luxurious four-seater with an extra shot of adrenaline, in the form of a 344-horsepower 4.2-liter V8 that makes 302 pound-feet of torque. Audi electronically limits top speed to 155 miles per hour, but says the 0-60 sprint takes only 5.9 seconds.The Q7 S line package from Audi's Quattro GmbH division bundles sport suspension, sport seats and 21-inch cast-aluminum wheels with distinctive visual accents.
Audi is rumored to be unveiling the S6 in January at the Detroit show, although it is not clear whether the mid-range model will get the V8 from the S4 or the Gallardo V10 from the S8 that was introduced last month in Tokyo.
