The new Audi S4 and Mercedes-AMG C 43 go head-to-head in a battle of the 4WD V6-engined fast saloons
In the past, if you wanted a fast saloon car that slipped under the radar, the original Audi S4 would have been top of your list.
Over time, the brand's S models have been endowed with more bling and aggressive road presence, but now this latest S4 has gone back to its more understated beginnings.
