- The Audi RS2 Avant. Launched in 1994, and not sold in the USA, this specific car was a German market car that is fresh off the boat having arrived in the USA - once it reached the 25 year old mark!
Today's video is presented by SoloWerks Suspension, who are based in Fresno, California, and part of the KW Suspension family. You can find out more details and purchase their coilover kits here:

Jamie has imported dozens of Audi RS/S and VW Golf Rallye’s to the USA for customers and friends. This was the latest one, and since we’re doing the TH-cam’s now it seemed like an interesting (and particularly beautiful) car to share. We hope you enjoy it, and apologise about the terrible weather that prevented us from politely doing a 400 horsepower Quattro launch ;-)

Thanks! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’m convinced, that’s best wagon ever built
Yes, this and the Volvo 850 R
Totally Audi at its finest
Your wrong audi 200 avant 20 valve
For me it has to be the B5 RS4 or the E34 M5 Wagon’s, though this is a strong 3rd lol
You don't need to be convinced it clearly is the best of the best! ❤️
The color combination is insane, wheels, interior, outside, it's just perfect 👍🏼 great car man!
Hey Doug DeMuro, pay the bill.
You are way more „german car guy“ than most of the german car guys 😂 Love it 👍🏻😎
The best Audi RS ever built. I'm an owner of an amazing blue RS2 and I love her so much!
1996 I was 9 years old and had a poster of a red RS2 taken from a Quatro Rodas Magazine. That was The dream.. I guess still is
Best car ever built.. I had a Audi S2 Avant ABY 95 with 225hp, my favorite
My Dad used to own one of these things as a company car, one of the rarer RHD versions. I still badger him every time I see him about him selling it!
Red one Greg?

Dear Jamie, as a German Audi Enthusiast and S2 Avant owner I feel a little proud and that you in the US are now able to share this kind of legendary cars. Enjoy !
Recaro seats “these are just to die for” 👌🏻 😎 my favorite part of this video haha
What a BLAST of a vehicle! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
glad you can finally get these cars😊 And I see at least 2 sets of rims on the wall behind you that sit very nicely on an rs2
My lottery dream.I adore these cars they are just perfect,everything you would ever need in a motor car.
Years back, I bought a 2.5L Eurovan block for my 5cyl Audi... Jamie's warehouse was utterly intoxicating. It was like an addict walking into a drughouse... This man knows VAG
Nice mk1 on the wall from the netherlands 😉
Great content 🤘
greetz from the netherlands
All first model is not the best, it’s just the standard of what’s next! This wagon is very expensive these days, can’t get one under $50000 USD.
A Newer RS (4,6,7 series) can cost less then the fist one out of the line and the performance is just crazy. I will love to own one but this car is a classic now, Iconic I must say. If you own one be happy, it’s probably the only Audi & Porsche ever produced car... we will not see anytime soon one of these collaboration again.
That car is sooo sick. Well done video, keep them coming!
I think Brian Scotto from Hoonigans would drool allover this! XD
He needs this in his life
He "liked" Jamie's Instagram post about the video.
I’m rocking Solo Werks coilovers on my B5.5 and they are awesome! Definitely worth the upgrade!
For my german ears you pronounce Porsche very nice!
I had one of those back in the day in right hand drive here in the UK, my current car would leave it for dust, but back then I needed something for baby seats and room in the back for our dog
My friend in UK was lucky enough to have one and the predecessor the s2 avant which had more power than the rs2. Sadly now the prices in UK have skyrocketed above 40k.
This car was the start of the rs aftermarket bumpers for mk1-3 golf's back in the 90s
Not only in europe, a bunch of RS2 came to Brazil too thanks to Senna who had bought a Silver model.
Thank you for posting this! I needed something amazing to look at! I have one of the RS2 license plate filler panels for my 80q, but apparently it's frowned upon here in PA to not have a license plate haha.
My first car was a -95 Rs2. Still got it.
Wise choice. My first car almost became an old Audi Urquattro that I would have gotten for a steal, but young and stupid that I was I never went through with the buy. Still kicking myself in the teeth for not getting that car, it would have been worth a pretty penny today. I can also imagine that the prices for the first gen Rs2 has skyrocketed as well.
That's the IR receiver for the keyless entry on the B-pillar
awesome video, i had no idea about the porsche connection
You know that VW ownes Audi,Porsche and all bunch of other car brands
@@damirtomcraft yeah just didn’t realise the RS2 was built in the Porsche factory
@@nickpx i also didt know that.
Every day something new to learn 🤷♂️
The year, 1999, sitting in my Audi 80 sport purchased from my Dad, 19yrs old. Watching a gentleman with a Labrador in the back doing standing 1/4 mile runs in his RS2 at York Elvington Airfield. Happy Days. Id also like to apologise now for stealing an Audi S2 grille badge and cutting the 2 bit off and attaching it to the 80 Sport, the shame :(
Doug DeMuro!
You could cut the blu and white wire under the back seat that goes to the cluster and you can lock the diff at any speed
Fuuuuu one of my dream cars. Audi and Porsche in a wagon which I own and love wagons.
They are so cool ! Absolute dream of a car ! 💙💙
The little electric thing on the B-pillar is the ir reciever for the remote open/close doors.
You're right! :-)
I’m in love !! Around what does it run to get one of these into the states?
Depending on condition, anywhere from 30-70k 😖
These are one of my favourite cars and colours!
Just for the info. It's HeckblendE. The "e" isn't silent. 😉
Love the RS2. The prices already went crazy. But the RS2s will certainly become even more expensive.
The best Audi ever
Gorgeous! I just saw a green RS2 in Seattle, the first one I've ever seen in person
Great video and what a beauty of a car also hi from the uk 🇬🇧
Mad car, I wonder what Audi had for breakfast they day they thought of making it. There is one in my area, I've only seen it 3 times in the last 2 years though.
Porsche meat for brekkie
Nice...!! But I think the wiper arms were fitted wrong side around.. the arm with the kink should be on the passenger side, and attached to the shorter wiper blade of the two..
There were actually 4 Sedans built. One is in the Audi museum, 2 are in Dubai (or Abu Dhabi i forgot) and one went missing
Lovely car and in the best colour Jamie
So you talk about a car for about 15min,and you didnt turn on the engine?!!!! Broooo 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Did you miss the first 5 seconds?
The Mk4 R32 looks like its bumper was inspired by this. Very cool
Wish solo werks made coilovers for 90's coupe Quattro
I want a S2 Coupe so bad!!
I've got an Audi 80. Of my particular car there are only 3 left on UK roads.
I’m a happy owner Of one blue RS2 all Original, original blue Alcántara steering wheel blue Alcántara seats and carbon. Very rare 1994 unit none airbag and beautiful steering wheel .
Beautiful car, perfect in every way
Absolutely awesome!
Nice one, what number is this one ?
Beautiful. Jamie, do you have a website for displaying what cars are coming in from overseas?
I'm dutch and I noticed the golf in the back on the wall ( the picture) I checked the dutch license plate, I'm sad to say that the car info shows that the car is dismanteld :-(
I just owned an Audi 80 2.3E, Audi 80 Avant - great cars❤️
What a beautiful machine!
Nogaro Blue makes my pp stronk. That car is insane and definitely one of the 2 I'd love to import... The other is an R34 GTR.
Solo werks aren't part of the KW suspension group. There's no information out there that says that. As far as i know ST are part of KW suspension.. correct me if im wrong.
On an RS2 this colour isn’t called Nogaro Blue, it’s called RS blue. Some other RS2 details are the black Audi rings in the steering wheel, and the black interior door handles.
I haven't heard that before about the blue :-) You're totally right about the interior door handles etc, which look so cool!
@@JamieOrr yip, I own an RS Blue RS2, and have done for 12 years ( mine is RHD). I have the original sales brochure. I think the name changed to Nogaro because it was available on non RS Audis. The colour is the same paint code (LZ5M). Cheers.
Th reason a coupe or saloon/sedan was never made is that Porsche wouldn’t do it. The performance was so good that they thought a coupe or sedan would compete with Porsche sales. Wagons where still fairly “uncool” so didn’t pose as much of a threat. It’s also why official Audi stats claimed 0-60 in 5.4 sec when it was actually 4.8.
Porsche didn’t want it publicly stated as it might affect their sales.
They only made 1800 S2 Avants and for the price difference and potential I'll take one of those over the over hyped RS2. Oh wait, I've owned 2 of them already. Anyone who wants to experience something like the RS2, go get yourself an S2 Avant, chiptuning and some BBKs and you are off to the races... mine even had the optional RS2 style Recaro seats which BTW were optional on ANY Audi 80 of that vintage. Hope this helps.
I heard the reason it was only available as an avant was because Porsche only agreed to build it if it didn't interfere with any models in their range. A coupe version would have apparently.
Wheels are wrong. BUUUT these look better than the stock ones ;)
Love my MK6 5 cylinder, not a 2.2 but the idea was born from it
nice video, made my day. thank you!
By far the best RS ever made.
I've been trying to figure out how to get a 1996 s2 coupe imported. Or this car and I don't even know where to begin. My research led me here lol.
Wicked cool 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤙🤙 Classic awesomeness.
Excellent car!
i drive usual Audi 80 wagon, amazing car
audi's best ever RS model
i own a S4 Avant V8 in Canada, and I wish I could own a rs2 also... but so damn expensive...
Where did you find the rules and guidelines for 25 year import ?... I’m looking to import one too
BEAUTIFUL!
My dream car ❤
Theese were well built back in the day, I had a 1989 90 quattro 2.0 5cyl DOHC 20v 160hp without turbo, they were Audi-s, the new ones are pritty but not the same
How about the SMS revo built Audi S2? They came out before the RS2 and Audi basically took the idea from SMS. Not saying the car are the same but the idea to make a high performance car came from SMS.
The Heckblende is actually there to represent the one on the Porsche 911 or the time
I believe there was an agreement with Porsche that they will not make a coupe version as it would have rivaled their 911 at the time
great vid on the OG fast wagen 👌
My dreams is Coupe S2❤
A Guy in Germany got one With a RS6 engine .
Major drool factor over this Audi...love that Nagaro blue color
i want one soooo bad RS2 FTW
Absolute beast and beautiful car🖤❤️💛
Saludos desde México Jetta mk7 go
There were RS2 sedans, they were just very VERY rare. My understanding is that a coupe wasn't possible as Porsche didn't want to build a rival to their own cars.
Beautiful
What an amazing car, brilliant!
Mann that’s a dream car to own 😍
There are Sedan version, less than 5 made: imgur.com/HlLPKf5.jpg
That was Ferdinand Piëch's personal one and is now in the audi forum.
Rumor is that sedan and coupe versions were too fast and the coupe competed too closely to what Porsche was offering and they didnt wish to make it.
There were 4 sedans , one in ingolstadt , 2 in dubai and one is unknown
@@racingrex3012 Have never heard about these other three. Can you tell me more?
There was supposedly one factory built coupe built too, but no one knows what happened to it.
@@AudiClubNorthAmerica No one knows a lot of the sedans. I know from a source that 2 were specially made for a customer in Dubai. One is in the museum but we dont know anything about the forth one. This is the story that the Audi community lives by
@@AudiClubNorthAmerica My dad said that he saw one like 10+ years ago in our little city but it could've likely been a replica
Super dream car
Amazing!
You're literally living my dreams
Doug Demuro would scream seeing this rolling around
He bought a blue one like this except with the real Porsche wheels
Audi avants are never boring also they do an s2 coupe sedan and avant
What was that random Jetta you showed for less than a second?
If you import one from the UK, the speedometer will be in MPH
what are those wheels in the background with the turquoise on them?
hey jamie........ those wheels are not correct for the s2 .... (shuts of computer and runs out of room)
Audi rs2, awesome car ❤ i almost got one in my garage 😁 I have an s2 avant with rs2 full interior (with the black/blue recaro seats) rs2 grill and rs2 mirrors. But the S2 avant is more rare than a rs2 😉 the s2 avant was only made in 1700 ex 🤟 But still, a rs2 is a rs2 ❤ Nice movie Jamie as usual 👊😊 Take Care! Best regards from sweden, Veegeeks friend in the middle of sweden 😉
s2 sedan more rare than s2 avant ;)
@@valukmi yes i know.. only 306 ex of sedan i think 😁
It's the RS2 from Chris/Germany right?
