I think this is the car that Matt got a ride in driven by Hurley Haywood.

Matt was in a Nogaro blue one with the alcantara interior...

So has anyone ridden in a US spec S4???

A couple of laps around the track and tires went bald? Sounds like the Accura NSX story where owners had to buy new tires every 3000 miles. "Change the oil and slap on 4 of those Pilots, will ya'?" Accura said, "If you buy a performance car you should expect this expense." Hope the same isn't true for the S4.

The drivers giving the hot laps were REALLY pushing the limits of the car...can you say sideways in the corner? I know you can. The yellow one either had improper tire inflation...or the driver just burned them off real quick. I have no idea how many laps there were...I think each journalist got two laps...maybe 50 journalists....1-2 rides each in the S4 and TT. The driver of the yellow S4 was flying....literally...

How does the S4 sound at speed?

Matt Daniels

I believe he was the passanger just after me. It was fun. :-)

Sounds to me....like a mix of an A4 and an M3

The yellow one on display had chrome trim (US style), while the one in the picture above does not (euro style). If they are both US spec, then we should be able to specify chrome trim or not.

They both have Graphite Trim...it is hard to tell from the pics
