Product Overview

Audi S4 B6 (Type 8E) Cabriolet is a compact executive convertible in production from 2003 to 2004. It was powered by a naturally-aspirated V8 engine that displaced 4.2 liters. Both manual and automatic transmissions were available, and AWD is standard.
Compared to the base B6 A4 Cabriolet, the S4 has access to the more exclusive V8 engine. This is the 40-valve version found in the D2 S8. Surprisingly, this makes the car one of the more reliable Audi models from the decade.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi S4 Cabriolet comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
