2014 Audi S4 Quattro Manual - WR TV POV Test Drive 1/2

This week we row our own gears in a manual gearbox-equipped Audi S4 Quattro. This Misano Red example comes equipped with the Black Optic package, which includes 19-inch wheels, summer tires and high-gloss black appearance tweaks.

The S4's 3.0-liter supercharged V6 churns out 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque and is matched to a close-ratio six-speed transmission with a dual mass flywheel, which then routes the grunt to a Quattro sports differential, making for quite an entertaining drive

For the best video experience, we encourage you to wear headphones or earbuds. The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. Because these microphones record sound from inside the ear, playing the sound through headphones gives the sensation of 3D sound. All of this translates to a very realistic listening experience.

WINDING ROAD RACING is here, carrying the gear you need to go faster.

Every single merge an indicator is on, every single lane change indicator is on. This video one of the best representation of the gorgeous car and great driving skills. Thank you.

6 years later, I now own a b8.5 S4, partially because of this video. My favorite video on this channel, hands down!

The changes between gears are so crisp and clean.  This car IS worth the money.

The engine sounds so good when you rev match!

I'll have to stop watching this or I'll end up with an S4 in my driveway...

Actually, why the hell would I stop watching this !? I want an S4 !!!

It’s been five years since anybody commented on this video or the second video of the Audi S4 manual transmission. There are those of us who still are out there looking at used Audis and your videos are a big help. I drove the DCT version and it just didn’t hit me. Now I know I have to have one with a manual although they are rare, rare, rare. I currently own a 2001 A6. 2.7T 6 speed manual, also rare, but it will be soon time to upgrade. Thanks for your videos. DCT’s may be faster shifting but there’s nothing like a six speed manual where you’re totally in control. It’s too bad they are pretty much going extinct.

I have always like Audi and this video does not disappoint. Clean and sharp interior makes it look modern and classy. Manual transmission keeps it a drivers car.

I work at a Audi dealership and this car was fantastic to drive. My favorite Audi so far... Haven't driven the S8 yet.

[KillerZero]

Love how instant and smooth the down-shifts are! Manuals forever!!!

[killa]

Ahh I love it when you guys get a manual transmission car to drive around in your typical POV fashion. The S4 is a beautiful car and I'm glad Audi has given us smalltime enthusiasts the manual box we so much love. Awesome video again guys and I love those downshifts !! You can't compare a DSG box to such awesomeness. 

[daredevilAUTOMOTIVE]

good driving!! This video should be the minimum standard for all your videos...drive it like it's usually the best test drive videos! This give a proper perspective as to what the car really is and IS NOT!

[lunaticasylum]

Sounds beautiful! Last year a got a 2015 A4 that is also manual. I love it to death and it's probably gonna be my forever car. The absolute only thing I regret about it is not attempting to find a manual S4 first. But still very happy nonetheless

[dylanw]

I honestly think this is the best Audi they ever made. Love the gauges, you arent overwhelmed by the technology and there is just a vibe of smooth, executive luxury about this vehicle, I love this car.

[SirSchmittyX]

I'm getting one tomorrow :) I'm so stoked! I might just stay up all night and watch S4 videos.

[FNFAL]

This video inspired me to get my Audi A4 manual

[CASSINOx]

I valet at the moment for a night time job, I'm used to getting the "big cars" like ferrari lamborghinis bentley but i always find myself more excited to drive one of these (S5 or S4) its just a great balanced car

Quality/Looks/Performance/ and they usually hold their value well as well.

Will probably be my next car.

[BrayZap]

Such a gorgeous car with a gorgeous sound. You guys always do these videos justice. Nothing overwhelming, but nothing too soft either. A light whine of that 3.0 supercharger with that beautiful exhaust sound. Really wouldn't want anything other than this car.

[muazzamali]

I always love manual transmission cars. Far better than automatic. The one who drives manual car is a real driver.

[shlattwidow]

Just fell in love with this car 10 minutes ago. Think I just found my favorite car.

[architecturehappy]

You drive like I do, with passion. Great video 🤘🏻 - love the binaural audio and POV. I was on the fence about buying an s4 but now I’m sold!
