The B9 was the sixth iteration of Audi's S4 sports sedan. What had started as a small, taut competitor for the M3 had aged into plump middle aged, and found itself competing in the marketplace with compact sporty crossover SUVs as sedan sales dwindled.
Under the hood was Audi's 3.0L DOHC turbocharged V-6 making 345 SAE net horsepower, and the only transmission choice was the eight-speed ZF Tiptronic slushbox, driving all four wheels in classic Quattro style.
Curb weight might have ballooned to 3,928 pounds, but the brawny six still had the Wheaties to push nearly two tons of sedan to sixty miles per hour in only 4.2 seconds and through the quarter in 12.8 seconds, clearing the traps at 108 miles per hour when tested by Car and Driver.
This Glacier White one was photographed using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and an EF 28-70mm f/2.8L zoom lens in January of 2022.
