The new Audi S4: 3.0T?? (2010, engine, driver, price) - Car forums - City-Data Forum

OK, so I saw a new Audi S4 today, and I swear the badge on the back of it said 3.0T. Aren't these things supercharged? If so, why not badge it as a 3.0K?

They are supercharged as you said. Here is the back of the 2010 S4. I do not see a T on it though.

Its not on the back - its by the front fender (although its definitely missing in that pic posted by LVD). I believe the T signifies the TFSI?

MUCH better looking than the 335 sedan.. but not sure its worth the price premium over it.

OK, here it is on the back of a 2009 A6.

And the "T" in TFSI" has traditionally stood for turbocharged.

Why not just call it the S4 GLH instead?

That is confusing then - as most pictures of the S4 engine has V6TFSI on it.... What they should do is just not put anything on it (just my .02 of course)

Whereas I think they should go with a 3.0K badge myself. I think that would be pretty cool.
