Audi Sport engineering
Less weight. Less waiting.
Every Audi Sport vehicle is engineered with range of sophisticated materials to help create a lightweight, yet formidable frame. High-strength steel combines with durable aluminum helps to reduce vehicle weight and increase body rigidity, allowing for increased performance and fuel efficiency.
The power of design.
Via muscular shapes and dramatic lines, Audi Sport designers inspire and give shape to innovative performance—while still maintaining a connection to our traditional vehicle lineup. Design isn't just form—it's an attitude.
Wind tunnel vision.
Optimizing aerodynamics in a wind tunnel helps prevent a drag on performance—which is why Audi Sport engineers spend countless hours watching which way the wind blows. Precisely shaped spoilers, vents, and intakes direct airflow to create the downforce needed for a fluid, effortless drive.

Exhilarating performance.
Each Audi Sport model is designed to have its own distinctive character, yet they all share one thing: the serious power that you can expect from an Audi Sport vehicle. The powertrains within our new RS models combined with our state-of-the-art transmissions to deliver a smooth—yet thrilling—ride.
Dynamic handling.
The quattro AWD systems of Audi Sport vehicles are rear-biased to deliver dynamic performance, while some RS models enjoy a rear sport differential that distributes power between the rear wheels. Combined with large brake rotors and the clamping force of multi-piston calipers, Audi Sport cars provide the confidence to match the handling.

Motorsport legacy
Rally. Where it all started.
Audi Sport competed for 6 years and took home 23 world Rally championships thanks to quattro technology—first unveiled with the Ur-quattro at the Monte Carlo Rally. Ever since, Audi has achieved racing success year after year.
Past, present, future.
Audi Sport began 40 years ago with quattro at the forefront—known for superior handling, traction, and control. Now, we continue to innovate by engineering all-electric race cars that stand out among the crowd. Read more about the incredible motorsport foundation that got us here.
Formula E.
Formula E is the pinnacle of electric car racing. The 2017–2018 Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler Formula E team placed first and second in the final race weekend to win the team championship in dramatic style.
Le mans.
In 2012, the Audi R18 e-tron quattro became the first hybrid-powered car to win “24 Hours of Le Mans.” With the front wheels directly powered by an electric motor, the revolutionary Audi R18 e-tron quattro went on to win over its conventionally powered competitors again in 2013 and 2014.
Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.
Driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck, Frank Jelinski, and Walter Röhrl, our Audi V8 Quattro DTM cars placed first, second, and third in the final race at Hockenheim in 1990. Stuck also won the German touring car driver’s championship that same year.
