Default Will B8 S4 be compitition to the new M3?

One would think that BMW anticipated the tuning capabilities of the 335. If this is the case the new M3 will be a monster, laying down low a possible 4 sec 0-60, otherwise they wont sell any. Right?

Second, we have heard rumors of the B8 S4. Correct me if i'm wrong but i heard 390 hp FSI V8. Seems underpowered huh. We saw a jump of almost 100hp from the b5 to b6.

Im eagerly awaiting to see what the next S4 is packing but unless its a V10 my next car might be a BMW.

if it does 4sec 0-60, it will be faster than an M5. Possible?

I'd be surprised to see a V10 - it wouldn't overstep the S6 or the S8...hell even the R8...

Default The B8 S4 wont be able to compete. It would have to be significantly faster than the RS4...

but I dont see Audi really competing for speed anymore. The RS6 was the last of their battle in the power wars. They seem content to have a heavier car that has more luxury and quattro.

Default if it has 390 fsi with DSG it will be a monster and get very serious 0-60 times if....

this is really important to you. If the lowest 0-60 is important to you i wouldnt get an S. Its more than a 0-60 kinda car - imo

Isn't the B8 chasis reconfigured to get some of the engine behind center line of front axle?
