    Here are a couple more pics of Japanese RS2's:





    Ive also been in touch with a Japanese RS2 owner who told me all Japanese RS2's were not officially imported by Audi Japan but by another company - plus some personal imports. In total he thinks Japan has/had around 50 RS2's.

          I could import the RS2 from Japan.Only condition is the car must be cut in a half as being imported as wrecked,spare parts not a functional car.
          Or i need to buy a cheapo audi 80 and tricky the officer by removng the vin number plate from 80 and weld it back on the RS2.
          one of a few I5 from Asia.

              Just remember they are all LHD.

                I cant answer that, but I know of a couple that have been exported from Japan in the last few years.

                    The white one is gorgeous. How come they're all LHD when Japan is RHD?

                      There must be some niche/premium respect for LHD cars in Japan then - very odd…. Just as odd as getting wheels painted yellow I suppose. Taste is different across the world as we know but they must really like the RS2 if ~50 have been imported there - there cannot be many more RS2 in UK than that left on the road ?

                        Japanese love LHD prestige cars. Its a status thing. I know, its rather odd.
