Audi has really come into its own in the last decade, with the four-ringed German marque now setting a benchmark for what a luxury sports car at a relatively accessible price can and should be. These days Audi is propagating this philosophy with the volume cranked all the way up, producing a comprehensive range of SUVs, sedans, estates and supercars.
While the most significant updates for the 2021 model year had been reserved for entry-level offerings, Audi's top performance vehicles, which is basically anything with an ‘R’ or ‘RS’ in the name, are also bearing some good news. The most significant event for 2021 was the debut of the RS6 Avant, RS7 and RS Q8 in North America; all of which are here to stay as 2022 models.
The Audi R8 will retain its position as poster boy at the top of the performance hierarchy, even though the car has been rumored to have its retirement date set to no later than 2023. In celebration or in spite of this - depending on how you look at it - Audi has announced that the R8 will be permanently available in rear-wheel drive configuration going forward. Previously, the rear-wheel drive R8 was a limited-run version of the otherwise all-wheel drive car, which featured briefly in 2018.
In 2021, the world saw the birth of the e-Tron GT, a fully electric sports sedan and a mobile showcase of Audi's achievements and future plans. The might be closely related to the Taycan, but is distinctively Audi, not just in design, but in the way it drives.
With the company changing its focus to EV production and technologies, it will be interesting to see how things play out for Audi over the next decade. Will Audi be taking the lead on this next generation of transportation? How will the company's philosophies and definitions of an “engaging driving experience” be affected by this transformation? The e-Tron GT offers a promising outlook into the matter and we're here to see how all of it unrolls in the future.
For 2022 model year, Audi tweaked its cars both in terms of performance and styling , but some prices have also increased due to the situation the industry is facing globally.
This is a 2022 Audi line-up with a highlight on performance-oriented RS vehicles across the whole range and a selection of available S Q SUV models.

2022 Audi RS Sedan, Coupe and Wagon Lineup
Over the recent years, Audi has really stamped its authority in the space of building some of the best sports sedans, coupes and wagons in the world; best of all, the majority of these cars require less than a 6-figure commitment before you find the keys nestled your pocket. Based on the standard models in their lineup, such cars are given the omnipotent ‘RS’ (abbreviation for RennSport) badge once they have undergone the necessary augmentations to become the top performance trims of their respective models.

For 2022, the A3 got a significant refresh for the new model year and the newly introduced Audi RS 3 benefits from all these too. In its native Europe, the RS 3 comes in both hatchback and sedan form, whereas the US model gets it only as a sedan.
The new RS 3 will continues using Audi’s iconic 2.5L TFSI turbocharged inline-5 engine. Pumping out rather impressive 400 horsepower, the RS 3 is at the very top of its segment, especially in the United States where it faces less competition than on its native market.
The RS 3 is a solid choice for an exhilarating compact car and its distinctive inline-five exhaust note just adds to its unique character.

Its inline 5-cylinder configuration and 1-2-4-5-3 firing order makes it sing with a distinctive voice, harking back to the Audi Quattro, the original Audi sports car. As always the TT RS looks the business and is full of tech.
Audi's official presentation highlights the Heritage Edition, paying tribute to the before mentioned Group B rally car. A total of 50 cars are available on the North American market, ten in each of five available colorways.

The 2022 Audi RS 5 Sportback is the boldest Audi 5 Sportback model, boasting impressive straight-line speed thanks to its twin-turbocharged V6 and sharp cornering abilities thanks to its proven quattro all-wheel-drive system and RS-specific suspension tune.
Despite its intimidating appearance and track-ready hardware, the mighty Audi 4-door coupe is actually a comfortable daily driver - a great daily executive car with enough poke to keep an enthusiast's smile on their face even in regular commutes.
For the 2022 model year, buyers can choose styling upgrades grouped in RS Design package and Bronze Styling package, while the performance-oriented Dynamic Plus package adds carbon ceramic rotors and lifted speed limiter for improved all-round performance.

In 2021, Audi brought the RS 6 to America, making it the first RS wagon to come to this market. With the RS 6 being one of signature Audi Sport models in Europe, the Ingolstadt-based company did it all to make a grand entry.
Probably the hottest performance-oriented station wagon on the market, the 2022 Audi RS 6 Avant sheds the conservative styling of the car it is based on, keeping in line with the high-performance estate concept. Derived from the already-excellent Audi A6 Avant, this souped-up station wagon adds RS-specific bodywork and exclusive go-fast goodies. The Audi RS 6 Avant is a powerful car with a mild-hybrid powertrain
At the heart of the car is the twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine putting out whopping 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. This of course translates to impressive results - the RS 6 Avant can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, on its way to an absolute top speed of 190 mph.

Audi RS5 Coupé is a more traditional RS offering in the Audi 5 model range. A two-door coupé boasts phenomenal all-round performance, courtesy of a 444 horsepower twin-turbocharged V6, RS-specific suspension and quattro all wheel drive.
In coupé form, the RS 5 looks more menacing than its Sportback counterpart, blending sleek silhouette with an assertive RS-specific body kit. For an individualist, the RS 5 coupé is a surprisingly good daily driver with an abundance of power ready to be unleashed with a slightest flick of one's right foot.
For 2022, the RS 5 has numerous styling upgrades including RS Design package and Bronze Styling package, whereas the Dynamic Plus option adds carbon ceramic rotors and lifted speed limiter.

Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 2,050 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.5 s
Top Speed: 155 mph electronically limited, 190 mph total
The RS 7 Sportback is what you get when you take the RS 6 Avant’s engine, then place it in a sleeker Audi Sportback frame. The resulting Audi RS 7 Sportback is an aggressive and beautiful car, with the specs to back up its appearance. This strikingly athletic, yet elegant, four-door sports car is a top-shelf blend of practicality and sublime performance.
The engine in question is a proven twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine with a mild-hybrid system with a total power output of 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Just like in the RS 6 wagon, it offers phenomenal performance, with a 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 190 mph if the electronic limit is lifted in Dynamic Plus package.

2022 Audi R8 Range
The Audi R8 and R8 Spyder are still the company’s most distinguishable sports cars. The R8 continues to occupy the throne of Audi’s hierarchy, as the marque’s flagship and the only exotic representative. Boasting a mid-engined layout, naturally aspirated V10 powerplant, and a remarkable supercar silhouette, the soon-to-be-outgoing R8 is Audi’s interpretation of what the highest echelons of road car performance look like.
Updates for 2022: Uprated engine output in both the baseline rear-wheel drive and range-topping quattro layouts, as marked by the inclusion of the 'Performance' nameplate in both trims.

2022 Audi R8 RWD Performance
Base price: $148,700 Coupe / $ 160,900 Spyder
Engine: 5.2L naturally aspirated V10
Power: 562 hp @ 8,100 rpm
Torque: 406 lb-ft @ 6,700 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.7 s Coupe / 3.8 s Spyder
Top Speed: 204 mph Coupe/ 203 mph Spyder
Since 2021, Audi has announced that the R8 will be available in rear-wheel drive as an entry-level variant. The quattro-equipped model comes at a higher price tag, more horsepower and increased overall performance, but it's the base model that best demonstrates a traditional supercar experience.
The base 2022 Audi R8 benefits from a 30-horsepower bump, hence the inclusion of Performance in its name starting from this year.
The Audi R8 underwent a facelift recently. It now has more aggressive styling. It’s the best looking the R8 has ever been. The front fascia is different and it has new side skirts, a new rear bumper, new rear diffuser, and a new spoiler. Inside, the cabin looks more or less the same.
The R8 Performance is available both as a coupé and a convertible.

2022 Audi R8 Performance quattro
Base price: $199,800 Coupe / $213,500 Spyder
Engine: 5.2L naturally aspirated V10
Power: 602 hp @ 8,100 rpm
Torque: 413 lb-ft @ 6,700 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.1 s Coupe / 3.2 Spyder
Top Speed: 206 mph Coupe / 204 mph Spyder
If the regular R8 is not enough, you can make the jump to the Audi R8 V10 Performance and get 602 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque.
The power bump and addition of all-wheel drive go a long way to padding the performance figures in a desirable fashion, with the 0 to 60 mph time down to 3.2 seconds, and top speed up to 205 mph. The Audi R8 has always been a true performer, and now it looks better than ever, too.
The R8 Performance quattro is available both as a coupé and a convertible.
Current Audi SUVs - Buyers Guide
2022 Audi Sporty SUVs
The sport utility vehicle segment has become an ever present figure in the automotive market, catering to the needs of the modern day family and in many respects, society as a whole. As both SUVs and their customers have evolved, a palette for high performance variants has also developed. Audi looks to cater to these tastes with a line-up of Audi Sport-infused utilitarianism.

2022 Audi SQ5
Base price: $55,800 SUV / $59,200 Sportback
Engine: 3.0L turbocharged V6
Power: 349 hp @ 5,400 RPM
Torque: 369 lb-ft @ 1,370 RPM
0-60 mph: 4.7 s
Top Speed: 155 mph
The SQ5 has been around since 2018 and it is largely unchanged for 2022. The SQ5 is of course the sporty version of the Audi Q5 SUV and with the introduction of coupe-like Sportback, it is available in both body styles.
Audi SQ5 is a great sporty all-rounder, bringing decent performance to the table in addition to a number of family-friendly creature comnforts. It has keyless entry and start, driver's seat memory settings, front and rear parking sensors, and auto-dimming, and power-folding side mirrors are among convenience upgrades, as well as driver-assist systems include automatic high beams, side and rear cross-traffic alert and more.

2022 Audi SQ7
Base price: $88,500
Engine: 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8
Power: 500 hp
Torque: 568 lb-ft
0-60 mph: 4.3 s
Top Speed: 155 mph
Audi's popular three-row crossover gets a twin-turbo V8 with 500 horsepower. That basically summarizes the SQ7. It sounds great, it has real poke and it is really practical for a family transport. Put it Sport mode and open up the exhaust valves and tweak steering weight and transmission programming.
The 2022 SQ7 benefited from the previous year's upgrade, getting standard adaptive air suspension system that lowers the car 15 millimeters and firms up the tuning. Add in all-wheel steering and the SQ7 is actually pretty agile and fun. We would add Audi's optional Sport Package ($5,900), which includes 48-volt active roll stabilization, torque-vectoring rear diff and red brake calipers.

2022 Audi SQ8
Base price: $93,500
Engine: 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8
Power: 500 hp
Torque: 568 lb-ft
0-60 mph: 4.3 s
Top Speed: 155 mph
The five-seat Audi SQ8 blends streamlined coupe-like design with SUV versatility. It’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine pushing 500 horsepower to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard, and competitors include the BMW X6 and Land Rover Range Rover Velar.
It is close to the performance of the RSQ8 and costs a lot less money, making it one of the best overall picks from the performance Audi SUV range.

2022 Audi RS Q8
Base price: $119,900
Engine: 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8
Power: 591 hp
Torque: 590 lb-ft
0-60 mph: 3.7 s
Top Speed: 155 electronically limited, 189 mph total
The Audi RS Q8 is the fastest version of the Q8 SUV and also the only RS-badged Audi SUV on the North American market. It's also among the quickest SUVs around the Nordschleife too, meaning that it's quite agile for an SUV you can ferry the kids to-and-from school in.
The RS Q8 gets a high-performance 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine from the RS 6 Avant, punching out 592 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. That’s quite a lot of power for just about anything out there, let alone something that seats 5 adults comfortably.

2022 Audi e-tron S
Base price: $84,800 SUV / $87,400 Sportback
Engine: 3x electric motor
Power: 496 hp (Boost mode)
Torque: 490 lb-ft (Boost mode)
0-60 mph: 4.3 s (Boost mode)
Top Speed: 130 mph
The 2022 Audi e-tron is a comfortable, fashionable SUV with all the right gear to help make the transition from gas to electric. It even has rather incredible 4,000 lb towing capacity, which makes it a very important player in Audi’s all-out-electrification strategy, especially on the North American market.
The sportier e-tron S has formidable performance, so it's safe to say that it will become the foundation of future Audi EV performance models. Later in the production run, we can see the potential for an RS variant to make its way into the lineup too.

2022's Best Audi. Our picks for the best Audi cars this year.

1st Place - 2022 Audi R8 Performance
This has to be the best car that Audi currently has in its model range. Now a standard, instead of a one-off offering, the rear-wheel drive version of Audi’s famous R8 supercar is wonderful for so many reasons. Not only does it provide a notably lower price of entry into ownership of a brand new R8, it also brings about the puristic thrills that its heavier and more expensive all-wheel-drive counterpart can’t. Yeah, it’s not going to be as quick as the Performance model, but it sure is heck going to

2nd Place - 2022 Audi RS 6 Avant
Audi is reinvigorating the currently stale hot estate segment, with the much anticipated RS 6 Avant finally making its way over to the western hemisphere. The aggressive and attractive RS-specific bodywork makes a loud statement that this is no ordinary grocery getter, and there's the incredible performance to back it all up. The RS 6 is far from cheap with a base price north of 6 figures, but it’s easily the most versatile RS car and as such it is the best car in the lineup right behind the R8.
