Daar is min aktiwiteite so lekker soos om ’n dag met Audi RS modelle te spandeer; en dit nog rondom die ikoniese Kyalami renbaan. Audi het ons onlangs genooi om ’n reeks van hul RS modelle te toets, onderandere die splinternuwe RS 6 en RS 7 modelle.

Sleek coupé or practical estate? Watch these two super-sporty Audis battle for the best acceleration times:
Lineage: Audi RennSport
The Audi-Porsche Genesis
Audi Sport, a name that can not be mentioned without a referral to the Group B (or rather the “Golden”) Era of the World Rally Championship in the 1980’s. While it was short-lived, it was Audi, who took the first step in creating a four-wheel drive rally car, intriguing other manufacturers like Peugeot, Lancia, MG and Ford to join the fight.
Tested: 2019 Audi RS4 Avant
The illustrious experience
Have you ever heard of the Cerwin-Vega 1515? What sounds like an antique Russian transport plane is actually an American loudspeaker the size of a medium fridge. And trust me on this; you would remember if you ever met a pair. That same brutal immortality also applies to my latest test car, the new Audi RS4 Avant.
Vergelyking: Audi RS4 Avant of RS5 Sportback?
Het jy R 1,3 miljoen in die sak, wat brand om ‘n sportiewe Audi te koop? Dan is jy beslis op die regte plek. Ons het pas die Duitse vervaardiger se twee blits familie-voertuie getoets en kan ‘n uitstekende antwoord gee.
Tested: Audi S1 Sportback
The mental case
Today I bring you further evidence that Audi has gone a bit mental. Not content with building quality motor cars, their engineers have produced fine fast cars over the years. After building such monsters as R8, RS7, S8, RS4 and S3, they recently cornered the tiny A1, looked at each other and nodded quietly.
List: (affordable) High-rev Monsters
The fizzy champions
I’ll let you into a little secret. There’s a get-out-of-jail-free card which I will allow any car to pull no matter how terrible it may be. It’s not red paint, it’s not Xenon lights, nor is it a gigantic sound system or two-tone sports seats. Those do count for something but they can’t compete with high revs.
Tested: Audi A4 Allroad TDi
The clever estate
So you live out in the sticks but the roads never deteriorate enough to warrant a wonky 4×4. Perhaps you already have such a vehicle and long for a decent station wagon. Maybe the one you fancy is a butch estate which can also deal with a nasty middelmannetjie. This car could be Audi’s new A4 Allroad.
