S4 will be a petrol. the V6 petrol engine will be available to order soon for the A6/A7 so just a mater of time before S4 will be available for order. Screen shot of A6 trim and engines below... Nice to see that you can get an A6 in petrol again.
I see the a6 gets a 7speed a tronic and not the zf8 according to that siteYes the A6 was always going to get the 3.0tfsi engine https://www.audiusa.com/models/audi-a6 Good to see the 2.0 tfsi as well...
Well spotted, perhaps a typo error though...I see the a6 gets a 7speed a tronic and not the zf8 according to that site

Can I ask what Configurator or Audi website that was from? As some Audi websites outside of Europe still show their pre wltp engine lineup

This is the Configurator I used.

It's the way the chaps in the USA calculate the engine output. There has been no change in this at all...Thanks @Robbe, useful link Good to see some decent engines coming through. The 45 TFSI must be the 252 with PPF for WLTP so down to 245ps
I’m pretty sure the Panamera uses the double clutch gearbox across the range, even in the higher output variants where Audi has said they use the ZF because of the torque.

So, I have an update. I’m probably one of the few customers, possibly the only one, with an outstanding order for an S4 placed when good lease deals were made available, for a week or so, at the beginning of April 2018. The ongoing wait has been / still is torturous and there’s still no real clue as to when I’ll get my car. But it is price protected.
Update from the dealer is that there is still no clue on timing. HOWEVER, the S4 / S5 / SQ5 will be a bi-turbo diesel with around 10bhp more than the current V6 petrol, i.e. 364bhp or so (and obviously a LOT more torque). Have to say that doesn’t displease me, for a price protected lease deal. It’ll likely be quicker and definitely more economical. It’s ‘just’ a case of when?!
Are you J R Hartley?
The new S6 and S7 will be available this May, both diesels. Every single person I’ve spoken to in the last 4 months since my Instagram first broke this news has said the whole range from S4 and above will be going diesel, citing Audi U.K. and Audi Germany as the sources. A disclaimer here that I have heard variations of the details, but the overwhelming consensus is that the S range is going diesel (but not in the USA, which accounts for the TFSI S models we’ve seen being tested). This info comes from their training meetings. There are a few theories; perhaps they’ve not managed to get the post-WLTP TFSI petrol engines to perform the way they’d like them to; perhaps Audi has been given Porche’s sloppy seconds now they’ve dumped TDI; perhaps Germans With Spreadhseets simply think TDI S models are a good idea. The very latest I heard - today - is that it’s interim.
WLTP has hit Audi hard, now we have many S models going diesel - it’s not been a good 18 months. Whilst many of my German followers are loving the idea of TDI S models, the reaction has been like Munch’s Scream amongst my British ones. Me included.

Yeah exavtly.I've swung both ways in this thread. I can see the views of both sides but on a personal level I'd be disappointed if they went TDI.
We do know the USA is petrol though as those MY19 "facelift" cars are already with dealers and customers. From what I can tell the front bumper lower lip and side inserts are the only change.
Only we've seen none of a diesel powered S car, only petrol. If Audi were going to release a diesel version, as ludicrous as it is, then there would be test mules, and there aren't...Yeah exavtly.
They could just be testing the us cars. It doesn't mean we'll get them. As ATTSQ stated. Just food for thought.

I remember when you first suggested it. I was twitching uncontrollably. Absolutely triggered like some of the lads on here. But then I started seeing the bigger picture and it's hard to ignore the consensus as you say. We need Misha to just set us straight. He lives at that ring haha. Hope you're well bud.

By side inserts do you mean the reflectors. They are in previous B9's and some owners are filling them in.We do know the USA is petrol though as those MY19 "facelift" cars are already with dealers and customers. From what I can tell the front bumper lower lip and side inserts are the only change.

I mean the font lower air intakes / or radar domes depending on spec. Now being trimmed in a U shape design as per A4.

2019 S4 (black optics):
The front lower lip is now painted S car aluminium or black depending on the optics chosen to match the rear/roof rails/wing mirrors etc.
