Product of the legendary Audi-Porsche collaboration
Highly original example
Originally delivered to South Africa
The Appeal
The 1990s were a golden age for high-performance estate cars. Volvo had the 850 T5R, Mercedes-Benz offered the C43 AMG, and Audi (in collaboration with German neighbour Porsche) came up with the RS2 Avant. Pairing a potent inline-five engine with Quattro all-wheel drive in a practical estate body proved to be a winning combination. Unsurprisingly, the RS2 continues to command serious attention from collectors.
This example has been in the care of its current owner since 2012, during which time it has covered only around 30,000 km. Predominantly garage-stored and driven occasionally to keep everything in good order, it presents very well for its age. The vendor reports a solid, composed driving experience with a smooth-shifting gearbox and no unusual noises. Inside, the cabin is described as being in very good order, with all electrical controls and instruments said to be fully operational.
