Audi RS2 AvantPhotography coming soon
The first RS car. Co-developed with Porsche — they supplied the brakes, mirrors, and 17-inch Cup wheels. A turbo wagon that out-accelerated supercars.
History
Audi approached Porsche to help develop their first RS model. The result was a turbocharged five-cylinder estate car with Porsche brakes, Porsche Cup wheels, and enough power to hit 60mph in 4.8 seconds — faster than a 911 of the era. It created the super wagon segment.
