It is supercharged. The 'T' does not have anything to do with Turbo. A lot of people have questioned why they used it

Yes, after much discussion on the topic it was decided that the S4 is "Thupercharged"!
It appears that 3.0 S might have made it sound like s-line or S4. T is just a letter in Audis minds as GT is used for some other cars, or R, or whatever. In Audis line, T from now on is for all forced induction motors.

I read in a magazine that although it is technically supercharged they wanted to keep the "T" they were so notorious for in the family and just labeled them 3.0T

I was told by an Audi engineer that the technical german refers to both a s/c and turbo as being turboladers with an additional german word or phrase in front that means "before exhaust" or "after exhaust" to determine whether its a blower or turbo.
