Description of 1994 Audi Other

VEHICLE OVERVIEW
The RS2 was pivotal in giving Audi a whole new line of performance cars and is perhaps the most inspirational car in its rich history behind the original Quattro. Its pioneering legacy can still be felt with the current line-up of hot RS-badged Audis, and its retro-cool cachet guarantees its appeal today. It also underlines its importance in being the first Audi RS machine. The hand-built RS2 was a collaboration with Porsche, and was a performance car hero the moment it left the production line. Stuttgart provided 968 Clubsport ‘Cup’ wheels and brake calipers. There are also the shapely 968/993 door mirrors, 993-style bumpers and blink-and-you’ll-miss-them badges bearing the ‘RS2 Porsche’ legend.

The RS2 takes time to spool its turbo, but once it does, the pace is ferocious. So shocking was its pace when it was launched, Autocar recorded a 0-30 mph time of just 1.5 seconds. At the time, that was faster than both the McLaren F1 and Jacques Villeneuve’s Formula 1 car. Below 3,000rpm not much happens, then you ride the wave of torque and by 7,000 rpm it’s more or less all over. Stay in the middle ratios to keep the engine on the boil and the RS2 just keeps finding more speed. It’s both intoxicating and intimidating, and all the while you’re aware this is a wagon with up to 42 cubic feet of luggage space. Unbelievable.
STANDARD FEATURES
- Based on the Audi's 80 Avant, and built on the Audi B4 platform power comes from a by a modified version of the 2.2 liter inline 5 DOHC 20 valve engine.- A six-speed manual gearbox was the only transmission choice. and Audi's trademark Quattro permanent four-wheel drive system was standard. Front and rear final drive units contained a conventional 'open' differential, while the rear has an electro-mechanical diff lock.- Porsche-designed braking replaced the standard Audi 80 equipment featuring 11.97" radially ventilated disc brakes with Porsche badged Brembo four piston calipers, while the rears utilize 11.77" rotors with Brembo four-piston calipers.- The interior features black leather Recaro seats, burl wood trim and a power sunroof. The original radio was replaced with a JVC head unit and Boston acoustics speakers.
WHY IT'S A CULT CAR
Approximately 2200 RS2s were to be built initially, but due to demand the total was increased to 2891 cars making it very rare and desirable to collector car enthusiasts. There are probably less than a dozen RS2's in the United States and this one features an even more exclusive color combination and a motor capable of launching this station wagon into super car territory.
CONDITION REPORT
This modified RS2 started life in Denmark where the previous owner built the motor to handle upwards of 800 horsepower. According to the previous owner, the engine was cleaned, painted and honed. He installed JE pistons, IE rods and 7A cams. ARP bolts were installed along with King Race bearings and a new oil pump. The cylinder head was completely refreshed, a set of 1000cc injectors and a Walbro in-tank fuel pump was installed. The car is running a custom stainless steel exhaust system along with a Wagner intake manifold. Power comes from a Garret GTX3071R turbo producing 473 HP to the wheels. An ECU Masters stand-alone ecu offers Bluetooth connectivity and a robust spectrum of tuning profiles. H&R Coilovers replaced the 25 year struts, providing a balanced and comfortable ride.
We tracked-down the original owner who provided details on the motor build and noted the car was sold in 2018. A year later we acquired the RS2 from a dealer in Belgium and in December of 2019 it arrived in Denver. We made a significant investment in this vehicle to insure it would be in perfect working condition for the next owner. The car is rust-free, and almost perfect. There are a couple very minor cosmetic blemishes including a small spot of rust under the rear wiper and a hairline crack in the front bumper, both items are pictured. We're excited to offer this RS2 for sale with a clean bill of health and a recent dyno tune indicating 473 horsepower to the wheels.
