How many famous owners of the RS2???

[RS2fan]

Hi guys.

I know at least 4 famous owners of the RS2:

Nick Mason had one

Juan Carlos the king of Spain, was supplied a silver RS2 Touch by audi race department delivering about 360 hp, the picture bellow.

Ferdinand Piëch used one of the RS2 sedan concept cars as his own company car for a while

And I have heard rumores about Ayrton Senna owned one of the first RS2, but on the internet i only found picture evidence of a Audi URS4.

Any one else??

Was going to say Phil Collins/Genesis.

Did Derek Bell /Racing driver not have one?

Thought I read Nik Masons one was stolen and used as a ram raid/bankjob getaway car?

Derek Bell did have one. Not just any one but the one my brother owns. The ex press car M119 MJB. My brother spoke to him not so long ago and he remembered the car and said it was one of the best cars he had owned and driven.

I read this on http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?t=69252 :

The story behind Derek Bell having one is interesting - all of the original RS2 owners prior to delivery were invited to a day out at MIRA to put the car through its paces along with some other fast Audis. Derek Bell was one of the drivers chosen by Audi to demonstrate the RS2 speed and handling. He was driving a left hand drive RS Blue one and took turns taking passengers around the various circuits - high speed circuit, handling circuit and the hill circuit. I chatted with him as he drove and he said he was so impressed by the RS2 that he had bought one in the same colour.
Quite an experience being driven round by him - you literally had to hold onto the grab handle and brace yourself in the seat to stop being thrown out of the seat. Quite a few times I thought there is no way we are going to make it around the corner . He would go around the handling circuit twice - the first time quite fast and chat about it and then just before he did the second lap he would say now let's see how fast the car can really go around the handling circuit. Most of us enjoyed it - however at least one person found it a bit too much - Derek had to stop the car with one passenger on the hill circuit who threw up in the back seat.

I have driven and worked on Juan Carlos car, did not seem any quicker than a stock car

Thats kind of odd, because I read somewhere on the internet that his was tuned to 360 hp
