Now let's take a closer look at each of these beauties ⬇

Audi RS 3 Saloon (8Y) 'Trans-Am' 2023

The Audi RS 3 Saloon’s incredible five-cylinder turbo engine is a huge part of Audi’s brand heritage. This rare engine type was a sensation when Audi raced with it in the Trans-Am era, which is why we’ve applied that racing livery to the modern RS 3.

The odd number of cylinders produces a very distinctive sound, but the modern RS 3 engine isn’t just about sounding good; it’s powerful too, and unlike so many four-cylinder engines in rival machines, it has lots of character. It’s paired with quattro four-wheel drive, keeping the other half of Audi’s famed engineering identity intact as well.

There are very few brands that you can identify just by listing the engine and drivetrain layout, but the fact that you could do so from the 1980s up to this 2023 saloon proves how important it is to Audi.

Audi RS2 Avant 'Sportwagen' 1994

Here’s another example of an iconic four-wheel drive, five-cylinder Audi: the RS2 Avant. It was an early example of the now-beloved fast estate archetype, offering supercar-level performance with a boot big enough for a couple of pet Labradors. Not that we’d recommend going from 0-60mph in the low five-second mark with a family pet in the back.

The beautiful wheels hint at a development secret: the RS2 was a joint project between Audi and Porsche, replacing parts from the relatively humdrum Audi 80 with hi-tech Porsche alternatives. The sports car maker tuned the engine to 315bhp as well, which doesn’t sound like much now, but it was a missile back in 1994.

Since the RS2 Avant kick-started our love of fast Audi estate cars, we’ve dressed it in a more modern ‘Sportwagen’ livery, based on the mid-2010s era of Audi racing cars, including the incredible Le Mans efforts from that time.

Audi 100 2.8 quattro (C4) 'Rallyesport' 1990

For some, the 1990 Audi 100 is the start of the modern line of family cars from the brand, as it was renamed ‘A6’ part-way through its production run and set the standard: predictable handling, four-wheel drive availability for those who need it, and a focus on luxury on the inside.

The early 1990s were a time when car buyers clamoured for motorsport heritage, and Audi was at the top of its game in that respect: the 1980s were the glory days of both rallying as a sport and Audi’s involvement in it. That’s why we’ve added the ‘Rallyesport’ livery to the 100 2.8 quattro here.

The 100 was never a hugely sporty car, despite links drawn to the brand’s rally models, but that’s exactly why it’s a strong example of the modern Audi: decent to drive, but designed to be practical day-to-day rather than a sports car for the masses.

​Audi S8 (D3) 'Trans-Am' 2006

The mid-2000s were a sensational era for German car makers. With buyer numbers exploding and engineering budgets rising to match, we got some truly epic cars then. One was the Audi S8, a luxury limousine with the engine from a Lamborghini Gallardo under the bonnet. The legendary 5.2-litre V10 is tuned for smoothness and luxury here rather than ballistic performance, but it’s still an immensely powerful and exciting engine. What better combination could we bring than with the iconic ‘Trans-Am’ era livery?

Audi offered a W12-engined version of the A8 limo at the time as well, perhaps even crazier as an engine option, but the S8 did also come with stiffer suspension and other upgrades to make it better to drive. As a huge, nose-heavy saloon, it was never particularly great to drive, but we love it all the same.

Audi R8 GT 'Rallyesport' 2011

It’s surely not too much of a stretch to call the Audi R8 the best all-round supercar of all time. Both the V8 and V10 versions have a stunning combination of performance, handling, styling, and crucially, usability. The R8 isn’t a supercar for display only; it’s one you can use and enjoy for many thousands of miles. The interiors were comfy and upmarket, the tech was good, and all are surprisingly easy to drive as well.

Yet the R8 is also incredible to drive and, especially with the older models like the R8 GT of 2011, it’s beautiful to look at. The ‘Rallyesport’ livery on this one harks back to Audi’s golden era of rallying, reflecting on the R8 as Audi’s golden era of supercars.

The 2011 GT version was a 199mph lightened, track-oriented version with a bit more power, yet it retained all of the best elements of the R8 without ruining the overall package.​

Audi R8 V10 Plus Spyder 'Supertourenwagen' 2018

There’s a bit of a trade-off with the Audi R8 V10 Plus Spyder. It’s not quite as stunning to look at as the coupe version, as the flowing roofline is missing. On the other hand, the sound of that 5.2-litre 602bhp engine is crystal clear with the roof off. It’s one of the greatest sounds made by any roadgoing car, made even more accessible here.

The Spyder is still a fantastic all-round supercar despite having a soft-top. It’s comfortable and easy to drive, and with the roof up, you’d hardly know you’re even in a convertible car. Having the option to get the roof off on a sunny day makes it even more enjoyable day-to-day.

​Here, we’ve dressed the R8 V10 Plus Spyder in a 'Supertourenwagen' red-and-silver livery that links it to Audi’s touring car success in the 1990s.​

Audi SQ8 TDI 'Sportwagen' 2019

Audi is one of only a handful of manufacturers to pursue diesel engines in their performance cars. The brand’s diesel Le Mans-winning race cars paved the way for cars like the SQ8 TDI with its 4.0-litre turbodiesel V8 pumping out 428bhp and most importantly, 664lb-ft of torque. It was a powerhouse at low revs, making it feel incredibly muscular on-road where this sporty SUV would spend most of its time.

​The clever turbo technology, with a sequential set of blowers boosting efficiently throughout the rev range, meant the monster of an engine was the highlight of the SQ8’s overall package. Here, we’ve applied the ‘Sportwagen’ livery that the brand raced under in its hugely successful diesel years in the 2010s - a very fitting colour scheme.

Audi RS e-tron GT 'Supertourenwagen' 2023

​If the 2010s was the era of diesel for Audi, the 2020s is set to be the electric era. Among the brand's first forays into the tech was the e-tron GT, a luxurious grand-tourer with plenty of power and a long driving range. Soon after came the RS version, which here we’ve liveried up with the ‘Supertourenwagen’ colours of the 1990s - an era that feels so far away from the modern electric one.

The RS e-tron GT uses an immensely powerful set of electric motors with a total of nearly 590bhp, and with Boost Mode active you get 2.5 seconds’ worth of full power: 637bhp. That helps it to get from 0-60mph in a little over three seconds, helped also by traction-maximising launch control and four-wheel drive.
