Audi RS 2 Avant

The Audi RS 2 Avant is a high-performance version of the Audi 80 Avant estate car that was made from March 1994 to July 1995. It was developed jointly by Audi and Porsche on the Audi B4 platform and carried the internal designation P1. It used the most powerful version of the Audi inline-five turbocharged engine, a 2,226 cc unit with 315 PS, and it was the first RS model of Audi and the first of its high-performance Avants. About 2,200 were planned, but demand raised the total to 2,891 cars, of which only 180 were right-hand drive for the United Kingdom, New Zealand and South Africa. It was not officially imported to Canada or the United States, though many have since been imported there.
