Audi RS-1
If you were waiting for a confirmation that Audi was indeed preparing an RS version for their latest A1 small hatchback, well here it is. The RS1 has been caught testing, not just once, but two times.
The first session was during testing at the Nurburgring and the second was while it was cruising around on some of Germany’s streets. The RS1 may as well get used to the streets of Europe because, as of right now, there’s no chance it will see American soil.
With that sort of power on tap, the RS1 should do 0-60mph in five seconds and a have a top speed of 150mph. In addition to the extra performance, it will also have a more aggressive look, with flared wheelarches to cover the wider front and rear tracks, plus an
Lowered and stiffened suspension, uprated brakes and a cabin with sports seats will also feature.
The RS1 is expected to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next year.
Price of Audi RS-1 is $46882 onwards.
Audi RS-2
The Audi RS2 Avant was a limited edition, high-performance Audi five-door, five-seat estate car (station wagon), manufactured from March 1994 to July 1995. Collaboratively designed as a joint venture between Audi AG and Porsche and built on Audi's 80 Avant, designated internally as P1 (instead of B4/8C that it was based on). It was Audi's first "RS" vehicle, and the first of their
high-performance Avants (Audi's name for an estate car or station wagon); it used the most powerful and most thoroughly developed version of Audi's inline-five cylinder turbocharged internal combustion engine.Although it was not widely exported outside of Europe, except for a few to Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil and New Zealand, the RS2 has amassed an impressive cult following worldwide,
and it is often regarded as being the vehicle that finally firmly established Audi as a producer of practical high-performance vehicles: its estate body, seating for five persons, and Audi's 'trademark' quattro permanent four-wheel-drive system as standard made it usable as a comfortable daily driver, even in poor weather conditions.

Audi RS-3
The new RS3 is, as it stands, the most powerful hot hatch ever built. With
four-wheel drive and a twin-clutch gearbox it’s a formidably rapid cross-country
machine with enough raw pace to trouble much more expensive machinery. It’s also a practical and very useable car, too, but sadly it just isn’t as much fun to drive as a hot hatch should be on an engaging stretch of road.
Audi would install the 180bhp 1.8-litre TFSI motor, a 2.0-litre version rated at 220bhp and a brawny S-line model good for some 280bhp, our sources suggest.
Diesel TDI engines would also likely get the nod, with a frugal 125bhp variant of the latest 1.6-litre common-rail derv, plus 170 and 204bhp versions of the 2.0-litre.
Price of Audi RS-3 is $80,000 onwards.
