Apple's iPhone is a beautiful thing, but ask it to do things that a Nokia or a Sony Ericsson can and it often falls short. Fast Audis have always been a bit like that; beautiful and quick, they've just never been able to do some of the things that quick Beemers or Mercs can with ease. The new S4 is different. Very different.

In the Metal

Audi's A4 is a handsome car in regular guise and the S4 builds impressively on the standard car's foundations. The transformation from A to S follows the sporting makeover rulebook to the letter; the S4 wears deeper front and rear bumpers, side skirts, 18-inch alloy wheels, a more menacing S4-badged grille, aluminium mirrors and four fat tailpipes. The result is a car that looks more aggressive, but in typical Audi fashion it's not too showy. Except, of course for Audi's overly glitzy, bright white, LED running lights. For proper stealth they're best switched off in the car settings via one of the MMI's multiple sub menus.

There are no surprises inside, either. Sports seats covered in leather, a chunky steering wheel and a smattering of S4 badges add some sporting appeal to the A4's beautifully finished interior. As driving environments go, the Audi S4's is among the very best.

Wouldn't mind driving one of these.

One thing slightly irritates me though. Couldn't they be any more misleading with the naming policy? Not only is the engine called 3.0 TFSI but they also put this 'V6 T' badge on the side.
