We need this, sell it a bit more OP rather than just a picture.

The RS2 was the product of a co-development project between Audi and Porsche, based on Audi's 80 Avant, and built on the Volkswagen Group B4 platform. It was powered by a modified version of their 2.2 litre inline five-cylinder 20-valve turbocharged petrol engine (parts code prefix: 034, identification code: ADU).[1] This internal combustion engine produced a motive power output of 232 kilowatts (315 PS; 311 bhp) at 6,500 revolutions per minute (rpm). Although much of the car's underpinnings were manufactured by Audi, assembly was handled by Porsche at their Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany, which had become available after discontinuation of the Mercedes-Benz 500E, which Porsche had manufactured there under contract. The Rossle-Bau plant also produced the famous Porsche 959.

This car definitely needs more likes. I saw a pristine blue one locally a couple of months back and it still commands about 250 000 South African Rands even 20 years later. Was a very limited import here. It's performance was and is still remarkable for it's time.

Had a pic of it my bedroom wall waaaaay back when. This is one mean mother of all hot wagons. Don't know why GT games haven't included this. Imagine this versus Nissan Stagea twins. Yes.
