    1994 Audi RS2: Strap Into The Snow Wagon
    RUclips text:
    Like last week’s installment in our Made to Drive series, we are back in France, only this time at much higher elevation as we power slide through the snowy roads of the Courchevel ski resort perched high in the Alps. With his skis affixed atop and a preference for counter-steering, Mark Birch is using his 1994 RS2 exactly as intended. Sure-footed Quattro paired with a classic Audi turbo five under the hood is a recipe for the ultimate snow day as far as we’re concerned, and though it never received any motorsport attention, it sure does a good job of aping its WRC relatives as it carves sideways ruts into the churned-up powder behind it.

    I don't understand why THIS, the RS2, isn't the mold for all cars that have come after it. Not to big, not too small, practical and fun - what more could anyone ask for?

      Since the A3/S3/RS3 are getting longer and longer we may see a RS3 Avant or the "Sportsback" will reach the length of the S2/RS2 . The 5cylinder Turbo engine of the Rs3 is quite awesome.

      When i hear Audi i think about 4 doors, sedan or a wagon, diesel. RS2, is the closest to being the typical Audi, but also smth special. while Quattro is just something from a driffrent opera. Quattro is amazing but rs2 is more Audi, then quattro will ever be.

    I've always had an affinity for "estate" cars and IMHO nobody has done the "super estate" quite like Audi. I'm a BMW and Porsche guy at heart but the RS estate cars are fantastic. The regular wagons (or regular Audi's for that matter) don't do much for me, but when you had the "RS" it's a completely different beast. Unfortunately we've never been able to experience these cars when brand new like the Europeans. Almost reason enough in itself to consider a permanent relocation to the other side of the pond. Great car and great video. Petrolicious keeps banging out quality week after week!

    I agree with the "quite unique driving experience"... Full boost at 3500 RPM, until then you have like 100 HP, thirsty as crazy compared to standard S2, parts are not available or crazy expensive from Audi Museum (450 euro water pump), many optical elements (like trim under headlight) not available anymore, not reliable car... etc...

    I used to work at a VW/Audi/Porsche dealership. Had the opportunity to work on and test drive a couple of the original Audi Quattro Coupes. Let me tell you what!... Those bad boys where a LOT of fun! My favorite thing was to go looking for the guys from the other shop that were out test driving the latest RX7s. We all had the same "test track" to play on. Those Audi Quattros would just chew them up and spit them out. That, and the old 5000S Turbo we had on the lot. We discovered that the waste gate on the turbo was stuck shut. So...the faster you went...the faster it would go! That POS would smoke the tires in the middle of a corner if you stood on it!!! Eventually, the Mazda guys quit playing with us.
