RS4? 500+ HP Audi S4 B9 // Nürburgring

[@Jamie.c18]

Thank you again for an amazing lap! If you think you know what your car is capable of then give it to Misha for 10 minutes and he’ll show you a whole other side 😂👏🏼 Redline moves to accommodate for the raised transmission temps, it was a hot summer day! Trans cooling is definitely going to be upgraded for this year.

[@mgcharoudin]

So we go again😍

[@kei1880]

Hei Jamie, I know the s4 b9 has a turbo but why does it sound like a supercharger?

[@Itadapizza]

@@kei1880transmission whine, it’s completely normal

[@Misterpapito237]

It’s not because of the transmission temps , it because the ‘ high ‘ oil temperatures. Engine limits revs power to protect the engine you need an oil cooler.

[@Jamie.c18]

@@Misterpapito237 Oil temp is fine for these, of course lower the better however the oil cooler on the S4 B9’s don’t fully open until around 127 degrees. They’re designed to run hot, the car is also using upgraded motorsport oil and always changed after going to the track. The revs are limiting due to the transmission temps creeping up that’s all, it’s a safety feature.

[@KeyBrosUK]

Car lowered its redline toward the end there to protect itself, I like that. Sounds awesome and drove nicely, nice job!

I'd love to see a video of a b8.5 S5 with the sports diff drive around the ring. That diff makes all the difference in the world

[@tubejorrit]

The S4 could also be optioned with the sport diff

[@BarbecuedPossum]

The sport diffs are very weak though. I have a b8 s4 avant and done a few trackdays in them have had 2 sport diffs fail. 1 cracked internally and leaked the hydraulic oil into the gear oil which then ruined it, and the other after a few was whining and showing a malfunction when it got hot so just ditched it. Now has a standard diff in it waiting for the funds to do the jxb lsd retrofit (which can only be done into the standard diff housing). For having a bit of extra rotation on the road, fine. But (and I may have been unlucky..) in my experience they can't cope with track work

[@roywhiteo5]

@@BarbecuedPossum what tires were you using on track? My S5 is more fun in cooler temperatures when the tires have less grip

[@BarbecuedPossum]

Was on PS4s, normally i use ar1's for trackdays on my other car but couldnt be bothered switching as the s4 is my daily. Winter trackdays would be way more fun in these as can actually play with them on the limit, in they dry hot it's hard to do anything but understeer@@roywhiteo5

[@thinkcarbon794]

@@BarbecuedPossum Huh. I don't hear about them failing too much, but it happened to my friends B8.5 a few years ago while it was still under the extended warranty. By B8 did not have it, but my B9.5 dose, and it's been solid for me. A couple of track days, two trips to the drag strip, and lots of backroad blasting.

[@edombre4637]

its a S4 - thats the sports, more powerful version of the regular audi - a regular audi would wallow on this circuit.

[@thinkcarbon794]

If you notice the red brake calipers, it has the optional torque vectoring sport differential. It's a magical option that should probably just come standard that transforms the cars handling. A S4/S5 with the sport differential will do doughnuts in the rain like its a RWD car with the traction control turned off.

[@jimmymcgoo8641]

Red calipers does not automatically​ mean the sport diff on the UK model. @@thinkcarbon794

[@ukwan]

Stock cars are not so bad once you start modifying stuff either the suspension is too soft or the cooling system cant cope or the seats dont hold you in or you need more safety equipment etc. etc. Just put some decent tyres and brakes on a well maintained car and go do laps!
