The Audi RS2 Avant, was a five-door, five-seat estate car (station wagon), manufactured from 1994 to 1996. It was a collaboration between Audi AG and Porsche and built on Audi's 80 avant. It was Audi's first "RS" vehicle, and the first of their high-performance Avants (Audi's name for an estate car or station wagon); it used the most powerful and most thoroughly developed version of Audi's inline-five cylinder turbocharged internal combustion engine, based on a unit that Audi already produced, although Porsche considerably modified the engine. With a lot of power, the accelerations and top speed were fantastic , despite weighing almost 1,600 kg (3,500 lb).
A three-spoke leather steering wheel, Recaro sports-bucket seats (full leather or leather/suede), and console materials in either wood orcarbon fiber trim rounded out the vehicle's interior changes. Approximately 2200 RS2s were to be built initially, but due to demand the total was 2891 cars built.
