When RS2 parts were readily available and they were test cars for journalists. Would you want someone breaking the trans on a 30 year old car? This isn't a T-56 transmission that you can find anywhere to slap on your LS build, this was a Porsche built Audi from the 90s.

Not quite , the assembling line at Mercedes was too narrow for the wide archers of the 500e.

[@HomebrewHorsepower]

Porsche designed and built the firewall and chassis modifications in house. I definitely wouldn't claim that it's a Porsche built car, but they did put their hands on every one.

This is why as an old gen Xer I just bought a MX-5 RF a few months back.

Oh, and it would kill the Merc, or any of them, in the twisties any day of the week. Great video Jason! Keep em coming!

[@12pagani]

I love a good Miata but the handling of the 500e is surprisingly good and with a competent driver, it will stay glued to the rears of much newer and “sportier” cars. I have a 560sel s class with the single cam version of the 500e and that car, I could easily pull away from 350 and 370Z’s, older Porsche Carraras, and hot versions of normal cars like the SI and GTI. That’s despite it weighing in at 4100 pounds and having a 4 speed automatic, but it has almost 400 ft-lbs of torque and a wonderful suspension and chassis for a big car.

[@thejoshbtv]

My brain cannot process the editing. Please win some awards for this stuff.

[@RobinHoller]

There's much nice editing going on ... and it's funny with the guy explaining stuff, while the race seems still going on in slow mo. But sometimes they are over the top. E. g. they obviously did several races to get enough footage ... but these scenes get mixed and are kind of confusing because of that (e.g. compare 4:56 to 4:59; one time the Audio jumps ahead, one time the Mercedes).

[@RS3Cebuano]

RS2 has recorded better times in the past by a huge margin (0-60 of 4.8 and a 1/4 mile of 13.45) of what it produced on this segment. I love the content but I think they were being a little soft on the RS2, it bogged hard after launch and got out of boost then didn't regain boost until mid 2nd gear. I can understand why they didn't want to damage a RS2 being its a $100k car in the US and a limited production car as well.

[@Zreik20]

Honestly it looked like they botched the launch on the RS2 to me.

[@daedalus_20v]

RS2 was doing sub-14 second quarters when new on OEM 90's tires. It was over a second quicker to 60mph than the Merc back in the day. That's what's so dumb about these kinds of videos. We're talking about three used 30 year-old cars lol. Lord knows what's wrong with any/all of them at this point. It's one thing to say, "on paper this car shouldn't win etc." but quite another to just totally ignore reality. RS2 should be crossing the finish line 2 seconds ahead of the M5 lol but hey whatever gets those clicks, right?

[@marcusjosefsson4998]

I guess that RS2 didn't have it's best day... It's definitely not 100% healthy, maxing out the rear suspension like that... It probably needs a minor chassis overhaul and a thorough inspection of vacuum hoses and wastegate.

[@lqr824]

It's also possible the best quarter miles were done by speed-shifting (keeping the throttle pinned) to keep the boost up, but that'd be bad for the clutch and rough on the whole power train. I've had cars in this category since 1995 (Supra, two E39 M5's, R35, F430 spider manual) and I floored them every time I got behind the wheel but never speed-shifted.

[@marcusjosefsson4998]

@@lqr824 The KKK turbo in the RS 2 is pretty big, but it spools up pretty fast. With a car in perfect health and just a little practice you don't need speed-shifting, it should be a lot faster than in this episode. Speaking from experience...

My opinion is that those walkthrough scenes are filmed practically, they just push the cars into a slow roll. Then layer the fog/dof effects to make the scene look slow-mo.

[@FigureItAudi]

We're all aware how well these are filmed but when you look at all the different methods they capture the race, you start to realize how many times they need to run it to provide the final cut. Considering the angles overlap one another, if it was all one race, you'd be seeing drones flying in the fore/back ground, insta360 cameras stuck to all the cars - and, well, Jason would be run over multiple times standing on the track. Shoutout to the production team for having to think through how it's all captured for us.

The Miata comparison is a good one; ND2s are actually pretty quick cars. I had a 94 NA and I already found it surprising how quick it got up to 100 MPH for a "slow" car (light weight and low frontal area!), then my friend gets a 2022 and it's another level of performance; he actually recently complained to me he wish it was a little slower bcuz he would like to spend more time in the throttle before he has to lift off or brake xD And I couldn't help but note my Golf Alltrack with a $500 stage 1 chip tune is probably a pretty dead match for an RS2 in a straight line...

I have been in love with the RS2 since I found out it existed some 20 years ago. I love it so much that I have four discrete builds in Forza Horizon 5. The E34 M5 may have sneakily become my favorite M5 over many repeated viewings of Ronin, but when I want a fast wagon, I want it to be an Audi. M5 sedan all the way, but for an estate car, make mine an RS2!

Camissa and the Hagerty team are producing some of the absolute best content out there. Keep it up and we’ll keep watching!

The way these are filmed is absolutely incredible.

All 3 are beautiful compared to their modern counterparts.

The quality of this video is next level. The cars are beautys. What a master piece of a video

[@Vazin]

Kinda sus when the RS2 is known to do the sprint in a tested 5.4 seconds or less.

[@mediocreman2]

Yeah more like 4.8. Maybe they sandbagged things. We know Jason is a Mercedes fan.

[@RickTrajan]

Caught a glimpse of the equipment they used for different views, amazing work editors

[@mediocreman2]

Can't help but wonder if that RS2 has a boost leak. That's a 4.8 second 0-60 car and in good shape with the right launch will leave that 500E behind. Also, please find a place to do rolling races as well. They add an entirely different dynamic.

factory claims was 0-100 5.6 so never less that 5 sec 0-60...but back 1994 I watched the tests and audi was fastests and merc slowest

Jason Cammisa is the GREATEST car journalist of all time. Period.
