Last batch of Audi RS2 - 1996 ?

[UrS4boy]

Definitely an RS2 of some sort, the Cup 1s are clearly visible

Not saying that it isn't an RS2 prototype. Just saying that the image in the clip (that you captured) is not sufficient conclusive proof. I was quite sure that the first unveiling of the RS2 was at the September 1993 Frankfurt Auto Messe, as documented in the attached (which says "delivery in Germany in early 1994"):

The last Rs2 (96) was the ZTZ000521, produced on 04.08.1995 and 15.08.1995 was it on the road. It was in Nogaro and had Full leather.

If you add 924 from 1994 MY, 1606 from the 95 MY and 500 from the 96 MY you get 3030. So I suspect that there were less than 500 96 MY RS2s produced.

Seems that they made a couple more than 500 cars in 1996. The numbers out there are wrong. One could conclude that it should be 3051 cars if the information is correct.

That means they made 521 cars that years. The previous owner told me that my RS2 was one of the last ones built. Your information states that it´s still true. My cars is vulcano black with silver grey alcantara interior.

That's a good little gem of info. Thanks for posting.

Just to be clear, the "Z" before the "TZ" is just the check sum code for the VIN. The second "Z" = Zuffenhausen. Here is an example RS2 build sticker from a 1994 RS2 (RZ = 1994 model year built in Zuffenhausen):

Mod 94 began with ZRZ000100 (First Rs2 who was made in series)
Mod 95 began with ZSZ000100
Mod 96 began with ZTZ000100

So there was no Rs2 FIN below <100

Interesting that your info (reference?) is different than ETKA. Assuming your info is correct that means that there were 3 x 99 = 297 fewer RS2s built than 3051 (924+1606+521) = 2754, which is too low. The problem might be is ETKA doesn't show the actual last number for any of the years instead of 1000, 3000 and 1000, respectively.

it is not entirely correct, Audi had one RS2 on the 1993 Motorshow at Earls Court, in London, so some models must have been build before 1994.

The front left wing of a blue car, possibly an Audi 80 but that is ALL you can tell with 100% assurance from that video. The rest is just speculation until a better photo is sourced.

I can see the front bumper well enough to tell its a RS2 that and the cup 1 s it no brainer
