Audi S4 Performance Overview

Audi’s S4 performance story spans 1992 to 2024, with 29 independently verified tests across 13 model years tracing its development from an early turbocharged sport sedan into today’s quicker B9-era car. The B4 generation (1991–1994) began with the AAN turbo five-cylinder at 227 hp, and the 1992 Quattro Sedan reached 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, with the slowest recorded run at 6.3 seconds. B5 (1997–2002) moved to a 250-hp twin-turbo V6 and cut that to 5.5 seconds in the 2002 Quattro Sedan.

With B6 (2003–2005), the S4 adopted a 340-hp naturally aspirated V8, and the 2004 Quattro Sedan ran 0-60 in 4.99 seconds, the first verified sub-5-second result in the data. B8 (2010–2016) switched again, this time to a supercharged V6 ranging from 333 to 410 hp, and the 2013 Prestige Quattro Sedan recorded 4.4 seconds. In the current B9 generation (2017–present), a turbocharged EA839 V6 rated at 349–354 hp has produced the model’s quickest numbers, including the 4.2-second 0-60 time of the 2020 Prestige Quattro Sedan and a 12.8-second quarter-mile at 108 mph from the 2021 Prestige Quattro Sedan. Across the full sample, the S4 averages 5.06 seconds to 60 mph and 13.62 seconds in the quarter-mile.

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Audi S4 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
