Audi's future RS models can be called Clubsport.
There are indications that the "Clubsport" will be the future RS.
In that case the RS6 will be the last RS to see.
Audi A4 Clubsport Quattro.

Little too much in the front, the second picture is good. I see no reason for the name change, RS name is now fairly famous.
The only problem (according to some) right now is that Audi has S and RS while the competition only has one level of performance. So Audi doesn't always match up pricewise.

I have my doubts. The RS badge as the S badge are synonymous with Audi's best. I think the clubsport type cars are more one-offs that combine performance with a high-end luxury style. Club sport = club racing= country clubs, etc. There will be no RS designation for the TT or any Audi where the RS comes after the model name due to conflict with arrogant Porsche. Their feelings were hurt when Audi wanted to name the TT with the RS after the TT.

The future of Clubsport models is not clear yet.
They can be limited editions or ......?

Jarod never said that it's a fact....
He said that it can be - if you read his first post carefully...

You mean:
"Clubsport" to replace "RS" (the thread's title)
isn't supposed to be seen as fact?
All that does is spread misinformation.

Seems alot like speculation. I like RS more than Clubsport.
