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?
the RS4 B5 is like that, i drive one and love it. But, after that, there wasn't anymore to come
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.
2017-2018 Volvo V60 Polestar might be the smallest sports wagon you could find in the market
Timmy C but those are transverse isn’t it? Iirc, rs2 is longitudinal
This is the B5 S4/RS4. If you look at B8 B9 S4/RS4, they're quite long and a true sedan. B5 were more compact
This is my all time dream car. The style of the Porsche collaboration. The 5 cylinders sound. A true sport wagon and I love everything about em
I love ppl that are so pasionate about their cars
bondar ovidiu i always talk about mine at work. Think im the same haha.
this is one of the best cars Audi ever made in my opinion.
Yes it is, maybe in copmpanion with Audi A6 C4 S6 2.2 20V
Not saying much by Audi's standards.
But it is made by Porsche!
This is mother of all modern Audis...it all comes to this.
Then the Audi Quattro is the father.
Nope, can't agree with your comment
It’s definitely the embodiement of Audi Sport as we know it today, but Audi as a whole comes down to the original Quattro.
LOVED THIS EVEN THE AUDI 80 WAS GREAT
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.
Hello. You do not get enough of these cars no matter how many years pass. And every Audi Quattro has its charm.
I remember those commercials for Audi Quattro as a kid. Every time we sow one on the streets we had to stand and stare... I was 20-21 at the time.
Still today its one of most beautiful Audis.
I love fast stick shift wagons, they are so cool.
Ive got an 03 wrx wagon. Definitely not as powerful as the RS2 but its still tons of fun!
maxxjett films CTS-V wagon is a 640hp beast with a manual 😍
@@javanbybee4822 Just dont take it near any snow Mr Clorox
Jolinator yeh good idea but it’d be fun drift in snow 😂
I love fast stick shift wagons, they are so cool.
What. A. Dude. Hats off to Mark. Great to see an RS2 being driven like that.
Great editing, but you guys dropped the ball on this one. That Porsche Tuned 5cylinder sings, not enough recording of that engine in the video.
I concur.
I third this observation
me fourth.
Me 5th. More car noise.
This might help:

5 door Porsche wagon. Yes please.
They took too long to remake it, Porsche Panamera Estate.
Stefan Gossler that's also a really cool car. But the 90s vibe from this thing really does it for me.
One of many dream cars.. if I had a dollar for every time I’ve come back to this video to just appreciate the passion for these special cars I’d be able to buy a handful of them lol. Love it!
24 years old Audi and still kickin'
Petrolicious videos : Proof that fairy tales and love story are real ! Love it.
FINALLY! My dream car on this channel!
Cool car, and stunning cinematography! Good job as usual guys!
i don't know man, digital stabilization could have been smoother on 3:09
My father in law had an Audi 4000 Quattro Sedan, black on black with an in line 5 cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission and front and rear locking diffs - that car was amazing!
Beautiful car, looks great with the ski rack on top. Makes you want to take a ski trip every day.
The dual-tone 5-cyl sound is just so entoxicating.
I love that he actually drives this, regardless of the rising value.
The RS2 launches like a slingshot
Yeah. I recall the RS2 had the production car record for fastest 0-30mph when it released
It brings tears to my eyes seeing this. I own a Audi 80 TDI Avant and indeed it's a very fast and economical wagon. Very good ground clearance very good reliability and plenty of space. What a legend of a car!
Having skidded around the alps in my golf last week I am seriously jealous. Agree with some of the comments that the quiet spoken English accent needed to be better mixed. Music too loud, not enough RS sounds either. Otherwise top job.
Speechless. This particular vehicle is a legend, which laid the foundation and served as engineering example for all high-powered station wagons for centuries to come. This is what I call German engineering.
That's the way I fell in love with the S3, a friend of mine let me borrow her S3 for the week while my wife and I went on holiday to Wales. I came back after that holiday and 2 months later bought an S3 of my own.
Together with the Quattro one of the best Audi's ever made
So cool!
ugggg fast wagons always have a place in my heart. so practical in every sense especially the AWD ones for our canadian winters. great video
Dear Petrolicious, Thank you for EVERYTHING you do. And PLEASE never stop doing what you do. ❤❤
About time you showcase an Audi on this channel.
Im not a german car fan but I do like this car a lot. For me its one of the best german cars of all time and one of the better looking german cars.
if only Audi hadn't put the entire engine itself in-front of the front wheels lol. legendary car, everyone loves all the little Porsche touches and that 5-cyldiner.
This was my dream car when I was little after seeing one in the centre of Edinburgh in Polar Silver. Had one a few years ago after moving from an Audi S2 and wished I had never sold it. Mine was Brilliant Black with the blue and black seats and LHD as well. Lovely car.
We all need a friend like Rob
Nice car
yeah, nice car indeed.
Which of you lot out there gave this a thumbs down? I will put you straight. This is the HOLY GRAIL of all fast estates, and I'm glad it's getting its time in the spotlight.
the best Audi ever!!
This car is a legend ! The 2.2 5 cyl and the RWD biased quattro made 80-90's Audis so good :)
Fuck...this made me cry😅 sad to see old cars being old cars...like they look so much better than new models its crazy...
I wasn't expecting to fall in love today but here we are. What a car...
Beautiful video! I see a lot of love for this great car....the best Audi RS ever built.... Amazing super icon car!
As an estate car owner myself I can say that this clip was the perfect description of a purposeful car.
Awesome video, awesome car and dream like location. Bravo!
I love my 2001 allroad, its not fast but for those who know it is amazing. It does everything well and it stands out in the crowd.
Wow, what a car...she is amazing....
and great job keeping her so nice!
She looks so happy that you own and drive and ski with her~~~
Love the Petrolicious channel, love the Audi RS2 (I have an '02 S6), but this spotlight was a real let down. So little about this amazing car & incredible engine...too much '80s-ish muzak and the owner's emotional journey (no disrespect to the owner)...
For me the RS2 and the Urquattro would be my highest wish to own. Have had more than 40 different Audi’s
I’m addicted to this YT channel. These car stories are absolutely amazing!
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!
Eric Hakanson Mercedes E63 wagon is far and above (performance wise) any wagon offered by BMW/Audi ever.
Shannon Sofield lol absolute bullshit!
at the moment. Just because Audi's rs6 is outdated
Dominiq Akoraa the '18 Audi RS series is a new platform. Mr JWW just did a review recently of his RS7 wagon that he uses as a DD. That car is fantastic.
indeed it is. Can't wait for it. Prefer AMG sound a tad more though.
Even the 2.6E V6 Engine in my Quattro Avant is stunning. A RS2 is a nearly unreachable Goal what a lucky guy!
A nice story about the Audi RS2 - Audi Most Important Car and how the RS cars begin, well done.
I'm not an Audi fan at all but I cannot disrespect this piece of art! It's incredible - the car and the video itself!
My favorite Audi. I've been in love ever since Autoweek ran a test on one when they first came out.
I owned one of those from 2000 to 2004. Fantastic car! I still miss it :(
I had an RS2 white, it was the love of my life.
Stunning car. Stunning scenery. Stunning musical accompaniment.
This and the RS4 Avant B4 are the most beautiful Audis ever made
I have two RS2 in original conditions and perfect shape, both are used every week. Great cars!!!
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... Thank you Audi for helping us maintaining our cars. It's a blast!
Yep. I really dont like turbo lag. So I got V8 urS6 Avant. Somewhat beaten, but even after restoration it will be cheaper then RS2
So nearly bought one some 20 yrs ago.
Fabulous video.
Nice to see one of these being actually put to use, rather than being babied or dying in some private collection.
This is the first video I watched when I was introduced to your channel...just trying to find a retro review on the RS2, then I stumbled across you guys. That was back in 2018, still watching you guys today!
Best car ever, I love it ♥️♥️♥️ I'm 22 I dream about it
Thank you for doing the RS2. I am a die hard Saab and Volvo guy but there is no other car that would make me abandon my Swedes so readily as this car would.
Easily one of the most beautiful cars bar the S1, Stunning
One perfect Audi!
Once again your videos are awesome, you can see the passion in every driver & I think it's all about that. Perfect!
it definetly is an under-rated car !! Legend Vehicle!!! Take Care of it mate you're driving a priceless masterpiece!!
and this is what audi was doing 4 years before my a4 was built, this is why i love audis
I love wagons.
Wish there were more on the market today.
Can be imported here next year, I'm sure it's going to be "one of those cars" on our wish list🇺🇸 Love what he said about it being old enough to be a classic but modern enough to be driven everyday, perfect! Let also remember the size and that GLORIOUS engine ===========
I live in this town, i have seen this rs2 in a road thousands times!
Je suis amoureux avec sa voiture!!!
1min I’m lost. Wait. RS2; yes. Shaaat up m8. Straight to video of the Rs2.
My dream car, that after an S1 short wheelbase Quattro. Thanks for the video
Stunning, that’s all that needs to be said.
This car is the only car you’ll ever need, does everything and ticks every box.
This car, to me, is what old school domestic Audi was all about. None of this VAG copy/paste shit nowadays.
This review reminds me of my Subaru Liberty (Legacy) RS Turbo Wagon from the same era, right down to the snow trips and everyday usability! Cheers.
My God, how much I love this car!
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.
Audi rs2+snow+petrolicius=perfection
That is one piece of film art to picture this hopelessly dull interiored, not too well aged boxy plasicky audi the way it evokes emotions like the dying puppy.
Best Audi ever made.
Cool car cool guy cool job, and respect to your father he helped to start your passion.😎
Sean McNeill n
Wow its a piece of art. But I wonder where is this elegance in the modern day cars.Not even close.
Such a great car. Looks awesome with the ski rack and the snowy landscape.
Love your channel ❤️
What a beauty you have one your hands. Congrats. I have a a b7 s4 avant & people always compliment it. Mean little 400hp wagon. Looking to build the block & s/c it. 🤞
Such a refreshing film - get more UK guys on here!
Love this wagon! Makes me miss my '92 Passat GL.
You are also a ski trainer just like Walter Röhrl has been!
By the way.... My grandfather's car was a 1988 Passat Variant my first car was a 1995 Passat wich is a perfect every day car but now I drive a 3.0TDi A6 Avant Quattro with 239BHP and this is magnificent in every way
The two best car companies came together and made a perfect child.
Sitting in garage *looks at my B5*...I tip my hat to you sir.
Beautiful. My dream car. Then a SWB Quatrro.
"Its really quite a unique driving experience"
Thats whats its all about.. 👌🏻
This guy has my dream job tbh
Love the RS2. Wish we still got the hot Avant's like in the 90's
I love rs2, is the best car in the world
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY DISLIKE THIS VIDEO?!
Great video, great location, great editing, all this for a LEGEND!!
5:05 he understands how a the hatch on a audi is supposed to be closed. Good man!
For those who don’t know. This was Ayrton Senna’s favorite car. Side by side with the NXS.

I grew up watching senna..
