I believe it stands for 'Renn Sport', which i think is German for 'Racing Sport'.
And i think Carrera is Spanish for 'race'
But i may stand corrected on this forum !!

RS does stand for Renn Sport but the Carrera name, IIRC, was derived from Porsche winning the Carrera Pan Americana race in South America.
