Audi's sports car models are some of the most desirable vehicles in its fleet, offering unparalleled good looks and impressive Audi performance, whether you're on the track or the streets of Orange County. They also boast comfortable cabins, high-tech infotainment, and driver-assistance features you'd expect from the Audi brand. If you dream of a high-performance vehicle that turns heads, consider buying one of these top Audi sports cars.
Audi Sports Model Lineup
SQ8 and RS Q8
The sporty variants of Audi's Q8 have the looks of an inner-city professional and the soul of a sports car. These luxury SUVs exude sophistication with subtle, sporty touches balanced with practicality. The roof has a slight slope to create a sporty silhouette without reducing vision or rear headroom. This versatile five-seater has several different driving modes, so you can choose Comfort mode for a smooth commute or Dynamic mode when you've got the space to push the powerful twin-turbo V-8 engine.
Despite not being traditional family cars, the SQ8 and RS Q8 both have plenty of space for front and rear passengers and ample cargo room. Many driver-assistance features are standard, such as automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist.
SQ7
If you want a people mover but aren't ready to give up on your sports car dreams, the Audi SQ7 may be the car you're searching for. Its dimensions are comparable to the SQ8's, but with three seating rows rather than two. That's enough seats for seven people, but as space is limited in the back row, it's best reserved for small children.
Although the SQ7 has similar dimensions to the SQ8, it actually has more space up front. While there isn't a lot of room for cargo behind the back seats, you can lay them and the second row down to accommodate bulky items. Like the SQ8, the SQ7 is powered by a twin-turbo V-8 engine that ensures it competes favorably with the best midsized SUVs.
RS 6 Avant
The RS 6 Avant is another Audi RS model that serves as both a sports car and a family vehicle. It's a station wagon, but not as you're used to. Its carbon fiber front fenders, roof spoiler, and sporty decals signal that this station wagon has plenty of get-up-and-go attitude. Again, Audi supplies twin-turbocharged V-8 engines to power all trim levels. Acceleration is immediate and impressive, and the sports brakes help it stop instantly. Despite all the power under the hood, you'll always feel in control of the RS 6 Avant.
SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback
Not every Audi sports car features a V-8 engine: the SQ5 and its sibling, the SQ5 Sportback, are both powered by turbocharged V-6 motors. These vehicles are similar, with the SQ5 Sportback's sloping roofline the only way to tell them apart. Externally, the SQ5 is a chic-looking vehicle; internally, its opulent cabin features heated, power-adjustable front seats, a 14.5-inch infotainment display, and a modern 11.9-inch digital cluster. It comes standard with a solid suite of cutting-edge safety features, including adaptive cruise control with adaptive cruise assist and traffic sign recognition.
RS 3
The RS 3 is a compact car, but don't let its diminutive dimensions fool you. A unique turbocharged five-cylinder engine helps it accelerate quickly and produce an unusual thrumming sound, which should excite sports car enthusiasts. Upgraded brakes, stiff suspension, and performance tires help you stay in control, while bolstered front seats ensure you feel supported while cornering. While it's enjoyable at full throttle, the RS 3's compact size also makes it a fun city vehicle. Expect to turn heads while driving this striking vehicle during peak times.
RS e-tron GT
While most Audi sports cars have conventional gas-powered engines, the RS e-tron GT demonstrates how Audi looks to the future. Audi's best-performing e-tron vehicle has a pair of electric motors that create a new, sustainable version of Audi's classic quattro all-wheel-drive system. It's fast and thrilling to drive, and with a large lithium-ion battery on board, it'll deliver you to your destination on a single charge. In keeping with the RS e-tron GT's eco-friendly credentials, you can choose a leather-free interior package made from recycled materials.
Understanding the Audi Model Variations
Audi sports cars for sale come in S or RS variants. The S models are luxury sports cars that combine sports performance with sophisticated styling and comfort features. All S models have a quattro all-wheel-drive system, just like the first Audi S2 Coupe released in 1990. Other consistent features across different S models include upgraded brakes and suspension systems, carbon fiber interior inlays, and distinctive S badging.
The Audi RS models are high-performance vehicles for motorists seeking a thrilling driving experience. After the success of its S models, Audi launched its RS brand in 1994 with the RS 2 Avant. RS stands for RennSport, the German word for “racing sport.” Audi RS series models feature upgraded engines, advanced brakes, and sportier suspension systems.
