Report: Audi will not produce RS versions of the Q5 and Q7

No big surprise here. They don't have the capacity to produce them or the engineering resources to spare. Besides, the market is so small for these types of cars, the aftermarket tuning houses (such as MTM and others) are much better suited to handle them.
