havent they been doing this for a few years now? or is it just "official" now? BTW Quattro is not Audi's performance line its their AWD counterpart. Audis performance line is their "S_"series or even better their "RS" series although not to be confused with "S" line which is simply sporty package look neccessarily performance add-ons.

Get your facts straight before you post. Quattro is responsible for making S and RS series.

relax "Kimbo-Mice", its not like i do a google search before every post i make. i stated that simple because quattro meaning "4" is tagged in ALL Audi cars with AWD whether its Haldex or Torsen,not just their performance models, their FWD couterpart do not have the quattro badge. Now I dont consider an A4 2.0T with "quattro" to be their performance model car, or their miniSUV Q5 "quattro" for that matter, you see where iam going with this. so there was some truth in what i said i just didnt know that quattro was its own brand.

i was hoping they would at least come up with a more original performance division name. "R" just seems so... generic. even the logo reminds me of... http://www.cartype.com/pics/7749/full/jaguar_xfr_r-emblem_10.jpg jaguar's "R" emblem on the xf-r

quattro Gmbh IS in fact Audi's performance division. They are the ones who produce the RS models and the individual programme cars. Not to be confused with Quattro as Audi uses it for 4wheel drive.
