This is still one of the fastest estates in the world and in the 90s it had the record. Back in the day when it was released it had all the hype about it because no one before even though about making a estate with Porsche/Ferrari power output in it.. 300Hp is a big power even today, this is the performance cars starting point by today`s standards. The RS2 is capable of hitting 0-100km/h in around 4.8s, even today this is mind blowing number, there are lots of cars who can barely do that with 400 or 500hp under the hood. This car is electronically restricted to 260km/h top speed. I am not gonna talk about how much output can be gained from it if its going to be tuned..

Definitely tons of power for its day. Would have seemed like 500 or 600 hp today. It was very fast. It could accelerate faster 0-30mph than a Formula 1 car!

My dad owned an Audi 80 B4 2dr Coupe with a 5 cylinder turbo before I was born in 1995, when we lived in Northern Ireland. I was too young to remember but he showed me photos, sitting on the optional larger wheels fitted to it from the factory. I forgot if it was actually an S2 or the model 'lower' than that but regardless, he told me that it was definitely the 20v 5 cylinder turbo, as it had incredible acceleration from mid range pulls, combined with that distinctive 5 cylinder warble. Unfortunately, my family had to sell it as we decided to live in Tokyo. Now he drives an E36 3 series to thread down the narrow roads in Japan.

Cracking view of an icon. Saw one once on M6 and tailed it for miles admiring how cool it looked with it’s Porsche emblazoned callipers

I had a 1996 Audi S2 Coupe in Ming Blue back in the 90's and I feel in love with that car. You're description of it being' luke warm' is entirely accurate, but it was so smooth, yet totally planted on the road.

👍Pretty jealous of all the awesome cars the US doesnt get. We can finally import RS2s to the US. Still have to wait a long time for the RS6 to be able for import.

Loooove the RS2! And the Nogaro blue color is classic 😍

Great get! Wonderful car. Those rear strip lights are coming back.

A true unicorn of a car, and a really fun review! Congrats on getting to drive one, and such a fine example. If only I could buy one more easily and affordably in the States.

Another great review, I am a massive fan of older cars and your vids are fantastic. Keep up the good work !

I think there's something to be said for something fast and comfy. I really can't be doing with hard suspension and low profile tyres, there's just no point for most people.

This is great - it's awesome that these cars don't have to stay quiet in a museum or collection and can be enjoyed (even from afar) and shared. Good on Audi and others for allowing their prized vehicles (artifacts?) out every once in a while!

Been enjoying your fantastic reviews for a few months now. Very much enjoyed this one. I remember reading about this car when it first came out in my monthly subscription of 'Performance Car' magazine; those were the days. I was 14 when this car came out and I remember thinking it was one of the most exciting and special cars at the time; an Audi that was seriously fast and a supercar killer in many regards. Thanks for the reviews on all the interesting cars. I would say thanks for the hard work but, I imagine it's more fun than it is work 😉

The A1 and Q7 didn't do anything for me but you've ended the week on the ultimate high, the RS2 is an absolute legend and a car I'd really relish owning. Could your cheesy grin have been any bigger? 😁

This is my absolute dream car. I don't think this particular dream will ever come true but I'm fortunate to have been born at the right time to see such a beautiful machine as this

Loving the blue on the inside and the outside. 💙 Fun fact: my dad's old Fiat Uno (the only car he ever bought new) used to be in a very similar shade of blue. 😁

Congrats on 40K Well deserved.

This Audi has always been in my top ten cars of all time...love your Chanel..😉

Great review as always had an S2 coupe back in the early 90's lusted after this one though..

One of my favourite cars! Liked before i even watched it!

James, that's my regular driving Road, up until 3 weeks ago I had a Nogaro Blue Audi S8, now replaced with a new M760li. I love driving around there.

I owned an Audi Coupe and an Audi 90 Quattro 20v back in the days, and I still miss those cars.

Lovely, I had a red 94 S2 ABY coupe 10 or so years ago after wanting one for years. I believe is shared a downtuned RS2 lump. Great Q car factor. 230bhp standard and an ECU chip brought it up to 270. Sold it a few years later for a third of what they're worth now. Sounded beautiful on song. Still appears to be on the road somewhere. One of my favourite cars I owned and still miss it. There's some mental power 500+ S2s in Europe.

Love a good Q-car! Can anyone lend him an Alfa 156GTA Sportwagon? I believe they handled and sounded as good, if not better than the Audi’s Avants of that period. Certainly looked as good.

Don't forget the Porsche 964 C2/C4 made at the same time only produced 250BHP, so 315HP wasn't bad for the day... I remember doing 152mph around the Millbrook test track with Chris Goodwin back in the mid-1990s and if you looked up at the top of the window frame you could see daylight between the frame and the car! Quite a few parts came from Porsche for this car, the wheels for example. A great car none the less...

Nice, that's yer 40k! I have a soft spot for Audis, ran a couple of GT Coupe's back in the 90s, couldn't afford a proper Quattro. Great sound.

You're totally correct in your comments - awesome car, understated, 0-60 pretty quick but torque is fantastic and that's where it scores. Handling takes but if getting used to, partially because brakes do let it down even though they're the so-called big reds from Porsche. Smiles per mile? Million!! I had one of these, this colour and just under 90k miles on it back in 2006-10. Regrets? Selling it!

Great vid. The s2 was also available as an avant too. Anyone wonder why an estate has the tilt front seats like a 3dr version. How about one of the audi 200 v8s

Excellent content as usual.

B5 RS4 - as an American who got their license in 00’ I’ve dreamt of the widebody - k04 car since I first saw it. Unfortunately like the RS2, we never got that in the states... I did own an S4 with the 2.7tt but I read somewhere the only parts they shared were the front doors... love the channel 🍺

Nice review. I saw one for sale around 2004 for £8k with 56k on the clock at a small salesroom on a quiet B road just outside Basildon, was sorely tempted but knowing my driving style would have lost me my license pretty sharpish, I'd also considered the RX-7 as well but for commuting into London from the Northern home counties a diesel estate was a more sensible choice, massively regret not getting it though as it would have been a laugh on a track! There's a 25k mile model on autotrader now for £65k!!

Good review, good car!

this is one of my all time favourite cars.

Doug Demuro owns one of these. Same exact color etc. Very cool. 300+ HP is amazing for a car at that age. Nice.🔥🔥♥♥😎

I was lucky enough to be a Saturday boy at my local VAG dealer (Royal Berkshire Motor Company) when these came out.

Watched a few videos now, and can safely say you're doing an excellent job! A British Doug Demuro is what we've needed!

This is my "if I ever win the jackpot" car. There is NOTHING cooler.

From a time when Audi made some really good cars. Still regret not getting a b5 S4 with the 2.7 twin turbo. Yes I know it was expensive to work on but it was a good looking car and made a good noise.

When I was 10 I saw a brand new one of these... In this colour. I had no idea at the time just how rare they were but even at that young age I knew this was no ordinary estate... The subtle 'Porsche' on the badge caught my attention. I would love one of these today but an example like this might be north of 80k *_if_* you can find one.

No joke i saw one at our school years ago and wondered the unusual styling and why it said porsche, later i realised it was this. Same color even. What a rarity, i might have a picture of it somewhere.

Please find a Hughes of Beaconsfield Merc 300CE and do a review. What a car that is...There was one for sale here in Australia about 10 years go, don't know where it is now.

In 1995 the Audi RS2 with 315 horsepower was insane for a 4 door Avant/Wagon. In 95’ high performance cars had between 300 and 400 horsepower on average. The standard Corvette was only 300 hp. The most powerful Porsche 911 not counting the Turbo, was less than 300 hp. The Lotus Esprit S4S was 300 hp. The Ferrari F355 had 375 hp. The Honda/Acura NSX came in at under 300 hp with 276 hp and people were blown away. So yeah, 315 horsepower in a wagon with 4 doors was a lot of power and made the RS2 an amazing machine.
