The B7 RS 4 with 420 hp could achieve 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. I expect the best time for the B8 S4 in magazine testing to be about 4.7-4.8 seconds, about a half second better than Audi's official number.

I dunno... For a 0-60 time, you need to start at zero don't you? Looked like he was rollin' at 30 to me. before he hammered it. Still sweet though.

No way it was 4.2...wishful thinking.
for sure this thing will do sub 5 with right conditions...should do the trick!

Have become B8 owner recently - am not veteran expert on such cars but 'luv' this machine in everything I've eseen / experienced so far - but 0 to 60 in 4.2sec !!....similar to other feedback can't buy it? As noted it seemed not to start on a roll, further more camera was on the cluster from start to finish...can acceleration time be influenced much by downhill run for example?;-) Any experinced opinion on that?

Lot of things will affect times:
-rubber/temperature/grade/altitude/age of vehicle and of course driver
Personally, it doesnt make sense to punish your car every time you come to a stop by dumping the clutch.
This thing is plenty fast for the street.
