The formula is pretty simple. Take a regular Audi and pump-up the performance and then sell them as factory products. Audi Sport, which is now known as Quattro GmbH add this magic to most Audi models these days, but in the early 1990s it was a different story, with only a handful of cars getting this treatment. The RS cars clearly get more performance than the regular S models in terms of the pecking order. This is what being a performance car means in the world of Audi and below we have a full list of all the S and RS models over the years. The history of the RS lineup started in the \u201880s after Audi won numerous rally championships with the iconic Audi Quattro, which boasted one of the first truly competent all-wheel drive systems in production cars. The quattro drivetrain was so influential that Audi chose to install it in all of its top of the line models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">The first proper RS model was introduced in 1994, and it was in a league of its own, displaying outstanding performance unrivaled in the market. Called the RS2, with RS standing for RennSport, it was a station wagon version of Audi 80, which looked like any other wagon on the road in the early \u201890s. However, beneath that unassuming exterior beat the heart of a true performance car, powered by a 2.2-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine with 315 HP. With a six-speed manual transmission, the RS2 was brutally fast and achieved 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.8 seconds, thanks to quattro all-wheel drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#block-wrap-91137\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Full Model List <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">\/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-48430\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Models In-Depth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-70424\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Image Gallery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-67007\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Best Audi RS Cars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-14360\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Updates &amp; News<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20th-Anniversary-of-the-Audi-RS6-8.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Every Audi S &amp; RS Car<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1995-Audi-RS2-010-1536.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Best Audi RS Cars Ever Created<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">We Pick The Eight Greatest Audi RS Models<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audi S &amp; RS Sports Car Models Since the early 1990s, Audi has been producing some pretty amazing sports-oriented cars.
