\"Audi<\/a><\/p>\n

BMW has the M division while Mercedes-Benz has AMG. Audi<\/a>\u2019s performance arm is officially titled Quattro GmbH which certainly isn\u2019t the most attractive brand name going around. To counter this, the German marque has launched a pilot program in Australia where its high-performance models will fall under the \u2018Audi Sport\u2019 name.<\/p>\n

Audi selected Australia to test out the program due to the popularity of RS and R8 branded models in the country. As part of the program, 15 Audi dealerships in Australia will be outfitted with dedicated Audi Sport areas where the marque\u2019s RS and R8 models will be displayed. Additionally, a team of experts on Audi\u2019s performance models will be on hand to offer advice about the cars.<\/p>\r\n
