new toy - Audi RS2 Avant

[Skaala]

Picked it up on tuesday evening at the very east part of Norway. It is a 1994 Audi RS4 Avant. In mint condition and 100% stock. It has had two owners (one guy, and one dealer), and it is an absolute blast to drive. Took some time to get used to the turbo lag though, hehe. Interior is recaro seats with black leather and grey alcantara inserts. It's run 140.000kms with a complete service history at Audi or Porsche dealers. It is on winter wheels with snowtires in the pictures.

On my way to Bergen, a "normal" Audi 80 Avant pulled up next on me on the ferry, and it was the first time I ever saw these to "Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde" together in person. It was very interesting, but I think the owners of the 80 thought I was some boy racer with a bodykit and ''5 exhaust........hehe, they looked awfully strange at me. They should have known..

here are some pics I took on the way. The weather was so crappy I only got a few shots before it went bad again. Yes it changes quick in the mountains.

That's a great familiy car, and they are seriously fast. I saw 2 guys in a RS2 on the Nordschleife in October 2006, they were fast!
Congrats on your new car, I wish you a lot of save km's.

[sameerrao]

Great car! COngrats. Hopefully this will inspire Mr. Brembo to show his car sometime :lol:

[Stoopie]

Congratz on the car, you're really an Audi addict ;)

they are fast indeed, a bit faster than I originally thought, and they return an amazing "smiles per miles" value :D

[TopGearNL]

Very nice Skaala!

Congrats :D

Is that going to be tuned too? :wink:

[Skaala]

Very nice Skaala!

Congrats :D

Is that going to be tuned too? :wink:

No tuning... I won't mess with what is already a great car. The only thing is a Pioneer satnav with reverse camera, and maybe I'll change to Porsche Big Brake Kit with. And new porsche summer wheels if the big brakes wont fit underneath the old stock ones. 8)

Sounds good! :D

Man if you want you can really tune those engines up :shock:
But if it would have been my car I wouldn't have done it too :wink:

you sure can, there are several RS2's running high, 600+ (2,5ltr bore) in Norway. They seme very reliable for such hp ratings as well. I spoke with a danish guy last summer who ran a 585hp kit, and he drove it like he stole it every time, and he had done 80.000kms after the upgrade without any problems :twisted:

[saadie]

dont you already ahve 2 other audis? :roll:

[Skaala]

dont you already ahve 2 other audis? :roll:

hehe, sort of, I'll try to explain,
The A8 is owned by my father, and used by me when I am in Grimstad, if there is work related driving (40.000kms /year) and on long trips, business and pleasure ;) The Q7 is the run around car for the whole family, and we share it for whoever needs it, but it is mostly driven my me and my father for work related things. Those two are in Grimstad, and the RS2 will be in Bergen permanently for short business trips in the area, and the occasional track day (hrrrmm....) and airport back and forth... it's a complicated system, but it has a function :P

[saadie]

you should sell all of them and buy Hummer H2 8)

LOL!!! :P :lol: :prr:

[Wutputt]

Nice to have the car that started the RS line of cars from Audi! And it looks like a sleeper. Only car enthusiast will know what this car can do :D

[stradale]

Congrats, Skaala! Very nice car. The RS2 is quite a legend and rightly so. It must be a joy to drive it on the twisties in Norway (just saw the other topic :wink: ).

You don't see many Audi 80s anymore, so this was a great moment for capturing the differences between the plain 80 and the one with a Porsche makeover.

One of my female friends commented: "Why would you want a car that looks so normal when it clearly isn't.....?"

my response was that I have always loved Audi's discrete way of styling it's monsters, and (quote wuttputt): "Only car enthusiast will know what this car can do"

Let me tell you congratulation for your new Audi RS2 purchase. I saw on RS6.com a couple months ago that you were in "searching mode" for this legendary Audi/Porsche...and now you got this Quattro GmbH piece of history. You are damn lucky buddy. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Don't hesitate to ask some questions with our friend Brembo, because after having rebuilt his silver RS2, he knows this awesome car at 100% level. :wink:

I'm curious to not see a lot of snow on your Norway's pix, perhaps it's like me in Québec we don't received plenty of snow this winter ? :hmm:


Cheers Nordic mate !

[Skaala]

So will you show up in the macro JW meet at the Ring? :wink:

Congrats for the new toy - for an Audi freak as you are... must be great to own the RS4 grand-daddy! :D :P

what JW meet!?... that post went by me.....very interesting...

I have sent several e-mails to brembo prior to my purchase. I got a lot of useful info from him, and it helped me a lot on deciding on what car to go for. The winter has been really shitty this year. hardly any sub zero temperatures and a lot of rain...:(

[Zot09]

Nice addition to your Audi family lol Congratulations!

[stmoritzer]

[Pehtren]
