Experience that unmistakable feeling of owning an Audi RS

From the Audi RS 2 of the 90s to the 912bhp RS e-tron GT, Audi has always been synonymous with sophisticated performance. The past few decades have seen the release of some of the most celebrated models, ranges and names in motoring history.

From groundbreaking technology like quattro to engine notes that belong in Germany’s grandest concert halls, Audi has always understood the heartbeat of true drivers. And while it spearheads a brave new automotive era with exciting innovations like the Concept C, Audi’s decorated history of serious performance cars lives on.

In fact, it’s arguably not a history at all, seeing as you can still get your hands on proper icons like the TT RS, R8 or RS6, enjoying the same premium buying experience you’d get with ordering from factory. As it turns out, the present looks pretty good too.

Any auto enthusiast has the one that got away tucked into the deep recesses of their mind at all times, and if yours is an Audi from the recent past, the chances are you can find it through Audi Approved Used. One glance at an Approved Used RS and priorities shift – a 2019 RS 3 Saloon, 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds. Performance, perfected.

Ultimately, Audi Approved Used represents an incredible opportunity to get behind the wheel of an RS and connect with a living, breathing piece of motoring heritage. So, let’s remind ourselves why we love them so much in the first place.

Cars that move you

There are plenty of models and series out there whose key characteristics were conceived on the track, but few wear their racing heritage on their sleeve as proudly as Audi’s RS fleet. 

On a very literal level, RS stands for Rennsport, translating from German literally as ‘Racing Sport’. But, of course, there’s a lot more to it than that. Take the TT RS which, like all RS models, was developed at Audi’s high-performance subsidiary in Neckarsulm, Germany. 

Yes, the power figures turned heads – a gutsy 400ps speaks for itself. But it was the finer details that truly set it apart: the lowered stance, ventilated brake discs, and that sleek rear spoiler.

That sporty sensibility running through the RS DNA is also responsible for innovations such as the active rear differential, which directs the quattro all-wheel-drive to deliver up to 85% of the engine’s torque rearward as required. The RS6 has led a similarly charmed life as one of Audi’s great halo vehicles, showcasing much of the brand’s most cutting-edge technological advances.
