What do all the A's, S's and RS's stand for?

Until i knew the Audi range better i guessed

A's, std ish cars

S's were sports

RS's were Turbo sports

I now know different, but is there a logical answer to the A's,S's and RS's???

Yeah thought he was on the christmas juice....

S is just the sport model RS is not Turbo... although it did seem to be in the past, its simply a way to show it as a special car like with golf GT & GTI... its just the next step up.

Latest generation S & RS models are a mix of NA and turbo depending on the car... so its not as simple as that unfortunately. If only they were all turbo

Found the answer on the RS

RS stands for RennSport - Racing in German
