The basis for the Audi RS2 was the Audi S2 Avant with the same engine and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system. The S2 Avants left the Audi plant in Salzgitter without bumpers, seats and mirrors and were thus taken to the Porsche plant in Stuttgart.
The RS2 has a maximum power output of 316 hp and 410 Nm of torque. The 2.2-liter DOHC five-cylinder inline engine was taken in hand by Porsche and fitted with a KKK turbocharger and connected to a larger intercooler.
The RS2 was lowered about 3 cm compared to the regular 80 Avant. As standard, the car already had the quattro all-wheel drive system with ABS. The 17-inch rims and Brembo brakes are from the Porsche 964/993 as well as the mirrors. Furthermore, there are several RS2 badges on the bodywork such as in the grille and on trunk lid.
Not surprisingly, after these modifications and the substantial increase in power, the RS2 was capable of top performance. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 5.4 seconds and 200 km/h is reached after 22.7 seconds. Top speed is tuned to 262 km/h. Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the car has optimal grip during acceleration, allowing it to briefly beat even a McLaren F1 from standstill. Even modern performance cars are often unable to match these values due to their higher weight.
We are proud to introduce this RS2 to you. The car was delivered on Oct. 27, 1994 in Italy to its first owner who kept the car until 2019! In 2019, he sold the car to the second Italian owner who then quickly sold the car to Belgium, where the car was never registered.
The car comes with its original service booklet and has always been neatly maintained at official Audi and Porsche dealers.
With its 129,000km on the odometer, car is rather a low mileage specimen as most RS2s have over 200,000km on the odometer.
The car runs great and is beautifully original.
Because the RS2 was produced in a limited edition and is considered the “UR” AUDI RS, a good and original example is hard to find. This RS2 will become an oldtimer this year! Don’t wait until they become unaffordable!
