Standard Power Output of the New S4

Audi tuner APR stuck a 2010 Audi S4 on an AWD-dyno and discovered the following. Instead of the 333 hp and 325 torques Audi is claiming, they pulled 331 hp and 336 pound-feet of torque... at the wheels! Figuring that AWD cars have about a 20% parasitic drivetrain power loss, the actual crank output of the S4 is huge. How huge? By our calculations just about 400 horsepower/torques. Gulp.

This info is all over every Audi forum.....but it's just one result on one dyno.

The news doesn't make it any faster but I guess gives people bigger numbers to talk about down the pub.

Very true, but interesting none the less.
