Since the Audi Q8 concept first hit auto show stages back in January, rumors of a hot, Audi Sport version have abounded.

Since it was first shown earlier this year, rumors about a potential RS version of the Audi Q8 have burned like wildfire and now, Audi Sport boss Stephan Winkelmann has again fanned the flames.

This bright green Audi RS 3 sedan I’m piloting is a very fast small car that makes awesome, playful noises. But unlike Audi sport models of old, this one can slide through corners up and down the Dhofar mountains of Oman.

Almost every variant in the A5 range has now been revealed, but Audi Sport, formerly Quattro GmbH, has been holding out on us with the latest RS.

Audi has announced an official name change for its performance division, which is now known as Audi Sport GmbH. 

The new Audi RS Q3 performance model has been revealed, but it won’t be coming to the U.S. 

Mercedes-AMG has no plans to build a high-dollar hypercar that would rival models like the Porsche 918 or Farrari LaFerrari.

Nowadays, almost every automaker has a performance arm, but which one is the best? Our editors get into shouting matches daily, arguing over why certain companies are posers while others offer the real deal, so here’s you chance to get a look into that conversation.

No automaker is immune to ever-increasing fuel-economy legislation, not even luxury brands. To cope with these tightening regulations Audi is moving to electrify its entire range of high-performance RS models.

Audi is giving its Q3 a minor update and AutoGuide.com‘s spy photographers have caught the RS Q3 testing with those changes.

The newest addition to Audi’s high-performance RS line has just been unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in the form of the 2014 RS Q3. 

Ahead of its real-life debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Audi has revealed the RS5 Cabriolet, which uses a 4.2-liter V8 engine that will propel the car from 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds. 

Revealed ahead of its 2012 Auto China in Beijing debut is the Audi RS Q3 Concept boasting 360-hp from the same 2.5-liter TFSI engine that powers the TT-RS.
