The S4 Cabriolet is equipped with a Volkswagen 4.2 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 40 valves. The engine is mated to a Volkswagen 6-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Audi.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The S4 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

S4 Cabriolet Statistics

The dimensions of the S4 Cabriolet are 77.40 inches wide by 168.70 inches long. It sits a comfortable 56.00 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 101.50 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The standard warranty period for the S4 is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $25,930, with an invoice cost of $24,115. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2008 S4 is a traditional Bosch ME-7, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 14.50 gallons.

The S4 Cabriolet received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty one in-city driving and twenty nine when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
