First Drive: 2013 Audi RS5 - Automobile Magazine
If earning our attention with the firecracker TT RS was the first step in jump-starting the RS lineup, step two comes with this RS5, the closest thing to an official announcement that Quattro intends to run wheel-to-wheel with M and AMG.

The tinkerers at Quattro GmbH can build performance cars as well as any other automaker, but in its twenty-nine years of existence, the go-fast outfit has failed to establish a cadence as to where and when it uses the RS treatment. That's about to change as Audi elevates its performance sub-brand in an effort to replicate the reputation and consistency of BMW's M and Mercedes-Benz's AMG divisions. Give it a few years, and Quattro will be spreading its seed to any Audi that will lift its hood long enough for an engine swap.
