This comparo is about the RS serie from Audi, which one is the best in your opinion. Id also like to add the question, which RS should Audi build. We already know that the RS4 is coming, but should there also be a new RS6, or maybe a completely new RS3? Let us know what you think!

If i could.. I'd pick the comming RS4, but thats not an option (450 HP!!!) So.. I guess I'll go with the RS4 for now. Btw.. doesn't the RS6 get to 60 a whole lot faster than 4.8 seconds? thought it was more like 4.5 :?

Nope, the RS6 does 4.7(changed that

) and the RS6+ does 4.6(btw, didn't included the plus on purpose, since it's a limited production car, please do not include this car in the discussion)

I'm going with the RS2. It's a wagon, and it's old sk00l. Way ahead of it's time.

SubaruKid37 · Dec 09, 2004, 4:04 PM

I've got to take the RS4, its very usable every day, and I see one at school everyday, and it is very very nice, to me the RS6 is just a little too overpowering for everyday use, and too big to have lots of fun on B-roads

jimkk29 · Dec 09, 2004, 4:42 PM

Well, I'd take the RS2 if it wasn't a wagon (original = the best), but I hate wagons, so I'll take the RS4 for the same reasons as SK37.

Maserati Man · Dec 09, 2004, 6:50 PM

damn no RS6 avant. that would havce easily been my choise. oh well. then ill go with the RS2. its the loghtest and most verstile, and i think it would be the one that id have the most fun in.

12 inch pianist · Dec 09, 2004, 7:55 PM

Its a toss up between the Porsche made RS2 and the RS4 Avant. Probably take the RS4 for practicallity

I believe the RS4 was a wagon too.

Kirstyn · Dec 09, 2004, 8:14 PM

i'd take the RS6 Plus

OBX · Dec 09, 2004, 8:56 PM

RS2! The US didn't even get the base for that car so we can't even build our own RS2. Basically we got robbed. Value judgment says RS2 has similar performance to a bunch of $80000 new cars, so RS2 it - easily - is.

There is a RS6 Avant(Estate) included. Look in the poll. But the specs are the same...

Hell, then it's a toss-up between the RS2 and the RS6 sedan.

If you dont want an avant, then pick the RS6 sedan, since the RS2 is an Avant too...
