Thirty years after it was introduced, the Audi RS 2 Avant is a car people still talk about. And it’s a wagon. Well, technically, a 5-door Avant, one with a Porsche-engineered 311 hp 2.2-liter turbocharged inline-five engine, suspension, and brakes. It’s capable of 0 to 60 sprints in 4.5 seconds and tops out at 163 mph. Even with the Porsche ‘Cup’ wheels, it looks so mild-mannered and unassuming, like Clark Kent. But it also wears an S on its chest, or in this case, an RS.
Mark Webb is fascinated by anything automotive and particularly loves cars that are unusual or have a good story. He's owned a variety of cars from 60's muscle, Japanese imports, and oddities like a VW Thing and Porsche 924. After 20 years in the automotive and tech industries, he's a walking encyclopedia of car info and is always on the lookout for his next project or a good road trip.
