Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about the difference between the Audi RS series and the S series. Audi is a German luxury car brand and one of the most popular imported cars in the Chinese market. But did you know that Audi's models not only have the usual A, Q, TT and other series, but also the more powerful S, RS, R and other series, is there any difference between them?Let me give you a brief introduction.

As the name suggests, the S of the S series refers to "sport", which represents the Audi family of performance models, and is positioned second only to "RS" and "R". However, unlike Mercedes-Benz's AMG, the "S" shares the same production line as Audi's production models. From A3 to A8, Q3 Q5 Q7 all have their own S version. Although they have a similar appearance to the production car, they are completely different in terms of power and tuning, so it can be said that the production model has a strong heart. S series models are generally equipped with turbocharged engines, such as the S3 20t, s4 s5 30t, s6 s7 of 40T, etc., as well as the signature silver reflector housing, S-mark grille, and quad exhaust. The models of the S series pay more attention to elements such as performance, handling, and driving pleasure, and can better meet the needs of consumers who like a sporty style.

RS is an abbreviation for Racing Sport, and the Audi RS series is designed, developed and manufactured by Audi's Quattro division, and is not co-produced with regular Audi models. The RS series is the most powerful model in Audi's brand, and of course, the most expensive. The models of the RS series have been further upgraded from the inside out, and the appearance is wide-body in addition to the kit and exhaust, which means that the front protection of the RS5 that we see in the A5 S5 is a copycat. Because the front protection of the RS5 does not match the fenders of the regular version at all. In addition, the suspension, engine, and gearbox have changed greatly, and many of the brand's representative equipment will be used in RS models, such as the five-cylinder engine used in the RS3 TT RS RS Q3, such as the 4The 2L V8 was used in the previous RS4 RS5, and the V8T, which represents the Volkswagen Group's public welfare conglomerate, appeared on the RS6 and RS7. The high-end RS model will also be equipped with air suspension, DRC hydraulic suspension and electromagnetic shock absorption. The seats are also of the highest range, similar to models such as the RS3 RS5, and also offer super sports seats, or bucket chairs for short. The models of the RS series pay more attention to elements such as speed, passion, and track feeling, and can better meet the needs of consumers who like extreme performance.

To sum up, the difference between the Audi RS series and the S series is mainly due to the different departments of design, development and manufacturing, the different degrees of upgrades in power, suspension, gearbox, appearance, interior, etc., and the differences in performance and positioning. The S series is a sports version of Audi, and the RS series is a track version of Audi, different series have different characteristics, and consumers can choose the Audi model that suits them according to their preferences and needs.
