rs2 limo

[A80Avant]

the green one is easy to find on the net.the silver i have never seen.This one though was very well crafted..although i like the idea of B4 chassis much more to make an RS2 limo,rather than B3 chassis.Here in Greece it is done a couple of times but the appearance never changed.One i have seen had the S2 front bumper and that is it.

[edit] The S2 and RS2

Audi S2Audi developed a sports version of the 80 / 90 in 1991, based on the B3 platform called the S2. This featured a 2.2l 20-valve turbo engine derived from that used in the Sport Quattro. A similar version of the engine was used in the Audi 100 based S4. It came as standard with Quattro all wheel drive and featured a heavy-duty manual transmission, initially 5-speed and then upgraded to a 6-speed for 1993.

The Audi S2 was initially available only as a 2-door sports coupé, but later, in 1993, a 5-door S2 Avant model was introduced, along with a limited run of 4-door S2 sedan models of which 306 were produced. The S2 sedan and Avant feature a lot similarities in the rear axle support system to the later B5 body A4 Quattro. The B4 platform S2 Avant was also used between 1993 and 1995 as the basis for Audi's RS2 super-sports wagon, which was modified for them by Porsche.

The S2 was initially available with a 2.2 L turbocharged engine which produced 220 hp (162kW) with later models producing 230 hp (169kw). It will do 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, continuing to a top speed of 246 km/h (154 mph). The S2 avant reaches 100km/h in 6.1 seconds and has a top speed of 242 km/h.


RS2 LogoMain article: Audi RS2 Avant
The RS2 is fitted with a similar 2.2l turbocharged engine, producing 315 hp (234kW). Reaching 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, it has a top speed of 262 km/h. The Audi RS2 was generally only available as an Avant, although four 4-door sedan models were officially produced by the factory, including one for the chief of the RS2 development programme.

Whatever happened to Boff?

[4WheelDrifter]

I know a Boff. I wonder if it's the same one.

I can confirm that 4 sedan RS2 were produced this was declared by a guy in his sixties that is now a Tour Guide in Ingolstadt Audi Forum, we had a chat with him and the guy is a retired engineer that was the chief in the 5cylinder turbocharged project.

Funny enough tough the RS2 owners will fell a bit out of place in Ingolstadt.....
Kind of orphan car i must say..... none in the museum (although they have two of them in the wharehouse one is a sedan...) none in the literature none in the posters..... no t shirts no memorabilias no models... basically no trace!
Even the guy told us that we could have more infos in Zuffenhausen.....
But again at Porsche Home there is not much about the RS2 again basically nothing!
It's seems to me like both company feel "ashamed" of the project itself considering it was carryed out for the sake of Porsche in the period and mere covenience for Audi.

We fans and owners of the RS2s are facing IMHO two options in the future:
1) the car it's definetely unique i'm not saying that the car it's a legend or anything but it's unique because the very few manufactured and the double brand Audi and Porsche together in the paper.. the only example for Porsche Jointventures the Mercedes E500 was only Merc the 914 was just Volkswagen......
So it could be that in ten years time the value of the car could rise to some stupid ludicrous price (i'm hoping so)

2) the RS2 will just go out of memory and seen as just as an hold fat n fast Audi 80
i hope not....

P.S.

That replica it's easy to tell as a replica 3 seconds to an RS2 old owner..... no dooor trims....

Here's another pic.



Not real I'm afraid. I think you have to go to the Middle East to find one of those.

Here's a few others that I've had saved on my PC for years...

He paid a lot of attention to detail...








He's one shot of his first (RS80) project...


And a few others of the factory RS2 sedan (saloon) that I have...

Laser avant S2: Could you please supply the source of that information? I would like to track down the original magazine or whatever it is for my library.

Correct

[TEKNOPUG]

I want an RS2 sedan! Hubba-Hubba!!

I guess that it can't be too difficult to recreate one - although to do it properly you'll basically need a complete RS2 in the first place (or at the very least an S2 sedan) as I presume that none of the drivetrain components are suitale from a lower spec 80/90?

Or could you get away with an 80/90 sedan and a written-off S2 Avant - I guess engine mounts will need to be altered etc?
There is a red one for sale at the moment on PH with this kind of conversion...

Dudes, Wikipedia is just bullSh*te that hasn't been disputed or corrected. It is NOT a reference.

It might be right but its not a reference unless the original source is provided as well. Did I miss that because all I see are words somebody typed? Could have typed "three" or "five" - with out the proper proof its not real.

Just because its on the internet doesn't make it correct.

Now, anybody have the real reference?

[Nuvo]

Thanks for the "education". I merely quoted the source it was quoted from, nothing else, no guarantee that the imformation is reliable. That for you to decide, afterall you are the Librarian right?

Yeh, sorry about the edumakation thang. (I did teach at a Uni for 15 years and did write refereed journal papers, so references are a big thing with me).

And yes, I am the "Librarian". Always on the look-out for more articles about the S2, UrS4, RS2, and UrS6. Over 130 articles so far and counting (includes a few Urq RR articles too). Anybody have any magazines to sell or scan to pdf?

No harm done. Where does your electronic reference library presently reside? I may have to borrow an article or two from you.
