Porsche x Audi: the Record-Breaking RS2 Avant

A day in the life of the Audi RS2 Avant - the record-breaking car returns to its birthplace in Zuffenhausen. Developed collaboratively by Audi and Porsche, it became both the world’s fastest estate car and the first Audi to smash the 250 km/h barrier when it launched in 1994, further wowing with its combination of the space of a family car with a turbocharged driving experience. Join Michael Hölscher, head of the RS2 project at Porsche at the time, and Ralf Friese, corporate historian at Audi, on this very special drive.

love the fact porsche embrace & proud of their history

[@sherif.ghoneim]

Exactly

[@jskim8418]

Well literally Audi is owned by Porsche itself( as we all know the whole great VW empire group is owned by the Porsche family itself) and all the modern era Audi motorsports victory was also made by Porsche support(the Lemans24 team was literally the previous Porsche works team handed over to Audi after Porsche left) Some might even view Audi’s racing team or Audi itself as a Porsche’s second tier tech brand(which is wrong) but anyway Volkswagen and Audi are all part of Porsche’s tech and history…so whether they are proud of it or not it’s all as much as Porsche history:)

Should have compared it with 993. RS2 even had 993 foglights and 993 front turn indicators.

[@shawnqi1215]

Despite The fact that Porsche did this when they lacked money and I wouldn’t say it was their brightest moment they still showcase this history in a great way

[@moses4188]

Those cars are so 90's! I'm really missing that approach to design and technologies from that time. Hope that I'll have a chance to get some of these in a good shape to work on it 🚗

Audi of America should learn from this and support these old vehicles. Its outraging and grotesque when Audi is posing with old, iconic cars, yet dont let the owners in the USA purchase parts from Audi Tradition directly. Go Porsche !!!

[@pralhadmundargi6503]

I absolutely love these German classics ,even though around 20 years old still looks modern . Today's cars look futuristic a bit too much whereas these modern and right amount of classic mix .

[@markymarc1281]

Pretty badass indeed. 💖 I just chopped 1/400 URS6 roof off for my world's first D2 A8L Avant. 💖 Both chassis have the same width trunk/hatch widths and taillight height. Stay tuned folks. 😉

The gear bar should be present at all times. It gives the impression that the car is not broken. On the other hand, Korean cars break down after removing the gear bar, so people don't buy them. Koreans hate Korean cars. Perfect porsche 👍 and audi 👍

Audi's own sport quattro that hit the market a decade before the rs2 would run circles around it. The collaboration was more of a marketing venture than simply trying to make a fast car.

To be honest, wouldn't it be better for energy companies to directly produce eco-friendly gasoline rather than electric vehicles? I think you can make it. Even if the charging time of an electric vehicle is reduced, it is likely to break down, the electricity may be cut off, and even if a driverless car is made, the computer is not secure, but it is a car security problem..

If you really want to sell more cars than anyone else, let me know. Let's stick to 5 things. The car design should be nice or unique, there should be no breakdowns. It should be easy to manage. It shouldn't have complex functions. It's possible to stick to these 4 things

[@mtxh4794]

Porsche send me a car 🙏🏾

[@user-bi8se3wt8g]

It is a mistake for an Italian brand to make two SUVs of similar design. We need to increase the number of sedans and sports cars. SUVs cannot increase brand value. It is only good for moving luggage when moving around the house. A different design SUV would be fine
