Looking back on 40 years of Audi Sport GmbH with Audi’s head of design Performance, aesthetics and functionality to shape the RS models of the future Radically changed interiors to be featured also by upcoming high-performance cars
AudiRS models thrill fans of the four rings thanks to their advantage in technology and styling. On the occasion of Audi Sport GmbH’s 40th anniversary, Head of Audi Design Marc Lichte recalls innovations that have turned into traditions – and that continue to be sources of inspiration.
Marc, Audi Sport GmbH has now been in existence for 40 years, thrilling fans with RS models. Which of its models particularly fascinate you? Marc Lichte: As a designer and as a performance enthusiast I’m a huge fan of our RS models. The TT RS always used to be one of my highlights because, like the production TT base model, it was the first to put the ideas of the Bauhaus art school on the road. Although “less is more” applies to its design language, it does not when it comes to the sheer emotions and joy of driving the car evokes – ensured, not least, by its five-cylinder engine with its special sound. Work on the current AudiRS 6 Avant with my team was an unforgettable experience as well. At the time, we uncompromisingly carved the quattro origins into every detail and into every line. Anytime I spot an RS6 on the road today I’m happy to see how consistently we pursued our concept back then. Something that all RS models share?
With the Audi R8 high-performance sports car and the fully electric e-tron GT and RSe-tron GT models, completely different vehicle concepts are created in one plant. To integrate the electrically powered models into the production process, assembly was expanded by 20 to 36 work cycles. New competencies in the areas of electrification, automation, and digitalization were also added. The strengths and experience of the manufacturing plant were retained. The result was a unique interplay of new technology and craftsmanship for the smart factory and manufactory operation. Five-cylinder success story: After Audi had already built five-cylinder engines from 1976 to 1997, Audi Sport GmbH revived the concept in 2009 in the Audi TT RS. Unlike its predecessors in the larger Audi models, the second-generation 250 kW (340 hp) power unit is not installed longitudinally but positioned transversely in the front of the compact coupe. A jury named the five-cylinder turbocharged engine as the “International Engine of the Year” nine times in succession. The successful unit is also used in the various generations of the RS 3 and RS Q3. Premium package: Audi exclusive developed high-quality ideas for the interior at an early stage. The first generation of the Audi A8 was equipped with a cool box, a bar compartment, a VHS player with a monitor, a folding table, and electrically operated curtains. Later developments featured headrests with monitors, a seat center section with a DVD player, and a control console. Audi was a pioneer in the industry when it came to landline telephones and fax machines inside cars. In 2022, Audi exclusive implemented ten limited special editions and individualized every fourth Audi R8.
Audi TT RS Coupé
With its clean lines, this sports car has been an inspiration the world over since its premiere in 1998 due to its driving pleasure and puristic design language.
