13 years later and a new "S5" is barely even faster. By like 0.1 second to 60 mph maybe

Yur Welcome, im really excited about it, i just hope they put the V10 in it! doubt it, but hope they will. theres no official rating for power or price, but i have herd (Rumors) for it to be about 510bhp, but those are just Rumors, and price, somewhere round 80K. nonetheless, im stoked, and its sure to be one hell of a car!!!

because some independent tests discovered that Audi hides the s4's real power, it actually has 333hp at the wheels.
Mr.Turbo 16y ago
Why is it slower than the S4 though it have more HP , 2 more cylinders less weight by 20 kg ?!
Anonymous 17y ago
I really don't think the Audi can reach 155mph within the half mile. While the S5 has a better take off thanks to its quattro AWD in the long run the VXR8 catches up simply because it is more powerful and at higher speeds it manages to put all the horsepower down on the road.

Well the track is 1/2 mile, the VXR8 managed to win in the end cause the audi is electronically limited to 155mph. at 1/4 mile the audi was ahead.

Wow, thanks for that link. I actually didn't know about Autocar TV and I saw most of their videos for the first time.

you should watch this video where theres a 1/2 mile drag race including this and a Vauxhaull VXR8 among several other cars. The S5 leads all the way to the very end where the VXR8 passes it. The S5 has gotta have a better 1/4 mile than it but we have the VXR8 listed at 12.5! LOL http://www.autocar.co.uk/VideosWallpapers/Videos.aspx?AR=226821&CT=V
