RS Version?

Has anyone here ever heard of a Mini Cooper RS? Or does that even exist? My car came from the dealership with an RS Version badge on it, and I'm debating on whether or not to take it off.

Thanks, Adam

Fake. Never existed. Someone was trying to trick the general public into thinking it was something above the S.

Ok, thank you. I heard talk of an RS, but didn't think much of it and wasn't sure. There's no difference in my MINI from any other MC, besides the stiffer suspension and it's slightly lowered.

Haha gotta love people who can actually make them selves think its faster by just putting a badge on it. BTW does the badge actually look good? or when you look at it...you know its fake?

The badge looks good, like it belongs on the car, the red "RS" parrt is a little faded though. I just hate the fact of having somethin fake on my car you know? Besides, people in my town think my car is from Italy . Except for a few of my friends.
