Default Looks official, new S4 to have a blower

From CAR Online

This is Audi's all-new S4 which makes its debut in saloon and Avant (estate) guise at next month's Paris motor show. It may look much like you'd expect it to, but in a radical move, Audi is turning its back on turbocharging - the S4 is powered by a new supercharged 3.0-litre V6 that pumps out 329bhp and a hefty 406lb ft of torque for a 5.1 second sprint to 60mph and a 155mph top speed.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Audi-S4-and-S4-Avant-first-official-photos/">http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Audi-S4-and-S4-Avant-first-official-photos

I think their numbers are screwed... 406lb/ft of torque? AW says 333hp and 325lb/ft.

Those numbers are definitely wrong. The AW article say "Source: Audi AG " so you know it's correct..

Would be nice tho'. But maybe they're thinking in Nm rather than lb/ft.

I think the turbocharger is inside the supercharger. ;-)
