December 31st, 1969 Audi is about to embark on an all-out performance onslaught with the release of an entire range of new RS models. RS is Audi’s performance arm, similar to the M division of BMW. Manufactured by Audi’s quattro GmbH subsidiary, the RS series of vehicles are some of the fastest performance saloons on the market. The previous RS6, based on the A6 was faster than its rival, the E39 M5 and the current RS4 is sure to be a serious threat to the new V8 M3. The next wave of RS models that are planned include an RS3, RS5 (based on the new A5 coupe), RS6 and possible even a TTRS. At the top of Audi’s performance hierarchy will by the R8 supercar. It’s going to be interesting to watch the power struggle amongst the German automakers unfold – we can’t wait. More images after the jump.

    Audi, how about these:

    1. Can you make them lighter??
    2. How about not so nose heavy?

    Other than that RS cars are brilliant!
