[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="37899"] source: Road & Track And it can hit 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. This thing is absurd. We've seen a bunch of twin-engine cars in the past, but perhaps none more hardcore than this. It's an Audi S4 Avant that's been heavily modified to fit a second engine in its trunk to go drag racing.

Gallery of the Day: Audi S4 Sedan TDI and Avant TDI

words: Bill, photos/video: Audi AG Note: Audi has released photos and technical details on the new Audi S4 Avant and Sedan…yes, TDI. If you aren’t aware yet, the new S models from Audi are all powered by diesel engines and it’s highly doubtful we in the States will ever see these on our shores. We will get a gasoline power plant in our S cars. While the engine will be different, our S4 Sedan (and hopefully, Avant) should be identical to the EU model and it’s a seriously good looking veh...

Find of the Day: 2005 Aquamarine Blue S4 Avant

words: Bill, photos: Bring A Trailer Ok I'm going to put this out there...yes, I know this is not Paul Newman's personal vehicle. Several weeks ago, this same Avant popped up for sale and there was confusion on whether or not Paul actually owned it or not and then it delved into a heated conversation. I was planning on doing a FOTD but held off and eventually forgot about it. But then, it popped up again on Bring A Trailer. I just spent the weekend with a B6 Nogaro Blue S4 Avant so the want is...

Spied: B9.5 Audi S4 Avant

As Audi moves closer to launch of its freshened B9 range of cars, more and more test mules of the many variants are being spied in locales known for prototype testing. This week, an updated B9.5 S4 Avant was caught cold weather testing. Spoiler alert, the Audi S4 Avant isn't coming to America... at least based on any rumors we've ever heard. While there's been plenty of talk about A6 allroad and even RS 6, it is believed the B9 Avant is too far into lifecycle to make sense for importat...

Find of the Day: 2004 Goodwood Green S4

words: Bill, photos: Prestige EuroCars How do you follow up the much beloved B5 S4? Audi had the answer with the B6 S4 and stuffed the 4.2 V8 under the bonnet. The sound of that V8...oh man. So how do you stand out from other B6 S4s? You choose one in Goodwood Green (I have a thing for GG). This particular example has seen some mileage...107,580 to be exact.

Video: Donut Media on History of Audi S4

A regular in automotive backstory fed as video, Donut Media has applied their quick clip and humorous spin to the Audi S4. Admittedly, we think they're editorializing just a bit, but the video is still entertaining and so warrants a mention. The S4 model has a long history of being an enthusiast favorite over the years. In as much, it was naturally in the crosshairs of Donut's enthusiast car focus. With such a long history, you may not be surprised to see them spend the first seven minute...
