The RS Series is Audi’s premium high performance car, and exceeds that of the S Class in both price and performance. While there are some similarities between the RS and the S models like the interior and exterior stylings such as seats and steering wheel, there is a noticeable difference in performance with the RS as it shares characteristics with that of the supercar class.

The differences aren’t just in performance though, some RS models will strip back on the luxury features that you may find in an S class or even A class Audis, to create an experience designed for the track, focusing on reduced weight and unnecessary luxuries like automated seats and electric windows. The RS is for the serious drivers out there, and its competition sits with the Mercedes Benz AMG or BMW’s M Sport models.
