NEW YORK-Audi Sport is to Audi what M is to BMW or AMG to Mercedes-the tuning arm, the skunk works where cars go to lose weight, gain power, and find extra speed for the track. The US is a big market for Audi Sport, and the brand had several models on display at this year's New York International Auto Show.
