Audi is expected to roll out its new 2010 S4 model, after its debut in the Paris Auto Show this October. The model will be released as a competitor to the BMW 335i model in terms of efficiency, though it costs a bit more than the BMW 335i .

According to the reports, Audi moving from V8 to V6 is considered as a wrong step but the sources from the Audi says that they are stepping two steps forward, by using the new V6 engine. The 6-speed manual transmission is provided as standard on all the S4 models and offers the 7-speed automated manual transmission as an optional engine.

The S4 with the 6-speed manual transmission will be able to accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in a time span of just 5.1 seconds and is quicker by 0.1 second when compared with the V8 engine. As the dual clutch transmission is lacked by the launch control in it, it accelerates from 0 to 62 miles per hour in a time span 5.3 seconds, 0.2 seconds more.

Only time can tell how good or bad a decision it is to move from V8 to V6, so let us wait and watch the show put up by the 2010 Audi S4, when it hits the roads.
