2013 Audi S4 in Bellevue - Specs, Photos & Inventory

Performance
CAR and DRIVER's "Best in Test"
    To be the CAR and DRIVER "Best in Test" you have to outperform the competition, and do it flawlessly. The S4 did just that against the BMW 335i in a recent comparison test.
With its 333hp, 325 lb-ft. of torque, 3.0T supercharged V6, quattro® with available Sport Rear Differential, and its responsive and lightweight S tuned five-link aluminum suspension, the S4 came out on top across the board.
   
quattro® with Available Sport Rear Differential
    Permanent all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don't perform that way, either. quattro is essentially a mechanical system devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking, center differential that shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed. This means quattro is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than 100 times a second, helping ensure torque is delivered to the wheels where traction exists. Under normal driving situations, quattro distributes the power between each axle by sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while helping maintain optimum control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro ensures the best possible combination of traction and handling, regardless of the road conditions.
    quattro with Sport Rear Differential additionally senses which rear wheel to deliver an optimum level of torque. Specifically, it directs most of the power to the outer rear wheel to help steer the car through the corner. This reduces understeer, common among other all-wheel drive systems, and creates the true sportscar handling found in an Audi. Not to
mention, a 0 to 60 time of 4.9 seconds.
 
4.9 Second 0 to 60 MPH Time
    Utilizing a combination of supercharging, quattro® all-wheel drive with Sport Rear Differential and TFSI® technology, the S4 sprints to 60 MPH in a mere 4.9 seconds.   333hp 3.0 T Supercharged V6    The Audi 3.0 liter TFSI® engine has been named one of
Ward's "10 Best Engines" in its first year of production. The 3.0 liter, all-aluminum V6 benefits from the combination of FSI direct injection and supercharging to create 333hp and 325 lb-ft. of torque. The impressive torque is generated over a wide range, from 2900 to 5300 RPM, making full power usable at any speed. The four-vane Roots-style supercharger makes the 3.0 liter V6 exceptional. The potent combination of FSI with supercharging allows Audi to achieve V8 power and torque with the efficiency of a V6.
   
S tronic® Dual Clutch Transmission
    The S tronic dual-clutch transmission offers the function of two clutches that operate independently. One clutch controls the odd gears (first, third, fifth and reverse), while the other controls the even gears (second, fourth and sixth). While the first clutch is transmitting the power, the second clutch is poised to engage the next gear. When you shift, the first clutch is released and the second engages, so that the gear shift takes place in as fast as .2 seconds.    This innovative design allows gears to be changed without interrupting the power flow from the engine to the transmission. For you it means lightning-fast gear changes and keeping the power where you want it; at the wheels.

When the key is present, doors can be unlocked, the steering wheel can be released and the vehicle can be turned on without inserting the key into the ignition.

quattro® All-wheel Drive
    Permanent all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don't perform that way, either. quattro is essentially a mechanical system devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking, center differential that shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed. This means quattro is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than 100 times a second, helping ensure torque is delivered to the wheels where traction exists. Under normal driving situations, quattro distributes the power between each axle by sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while helping maintain optimum control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro ensures the best possible combination of traction and handling, regardless of the road conditions.

Safety
ESC
    The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle traveling in its intended direction by utilizing ABS, the traction control of ASR and the electronic brake force distribution of EBD. Specifically, when ESC detects loss of traction, it automatically adjusts the throttle and applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where you intend to go.
Braking is automatically applied to each wheel: at the outer front wheel to mitigate oversteer, or the inner rear wheel to mitigate understeer.   

Safety Belt Pre-tensioners and High Impact Crumple Zones
    Inside, the Audi safety systems prepare for the worst once the brake assist system is engaged. The safety belt pre-tensioners are activated for front seat passengers and lock the safety belts in place. This is intended to help keep passengers in the safest position in the event of a collision. When prevention isn't enough, the combination of crumple zones and high-strength steel helps deliver a tremendous level of protection for the driver and passengers. Crumple zones, at the front and rear of the vehicle, are designed to dissipate
the energy and force of a collision by deforming upon impact. The high-strength steel used in and around the occupant cell is designed to protect the integrity of the passenger compartment and those within it.
   
Six Airbags
    The six standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger and are designed to help
protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or rollover.

Innovative Braking System
    Audi has implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally, the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full
braking and apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking distance is significantly reduced.
