The history of RS began with the debut of the "RS 2 Avant" in 1994. These are high-performance, exclusive models developed and produced by Audi Sport GmbH (formerly quattro GmbH), which also handles the development of Audi's race cars.

The RS 4 Avant, RS 5 Coupé, and RS 5 Sportback, equipped with a 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine producing a maximum output of 450ps and a maximum torque of 600Nm, have undergone a significant exterior design overhaul. The front of the hood now features slits reminiscent of the classic Audi quattro, and the front and rear bumpers, air inlets, and side sills have been redesigned for a more aggressive appearance.
