Audi Sports Cars

There is a long line of storied Audi sports cars, but what put Audi on the map was the 1980 Audi Quattro and the images of rallying that this car still evokes. Quattro is still a mainstay of the brand and all of Audi’s top-performance RS (RennSport) models have it as standard, but there are now sports cars with a variety of body styles and even alternative powertrains.
