The trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car.
A great example is the Thule OutWay series, 2-bike rack # TH45JV and the 3-bike # TH56BV. These carriers feature outstanding construction for a lifetime of use and include built-in locks for the rack itself and for your loaded bikes. They also use an advanced mounting system of only 2 rubber coated straps - instead of 6 nylon straps that take more effort to install and that can wear out. In terms of ease of use these two racks have little competition.
Hitch rack are usually the best option to maximize bike-carrying capacity without putting a weight burden on a vehicle's sheet metal. However, we do not have a confirmed hitch fit for your 2013 Audi S4.
