B7 RS4 meets it's Grandad!

[iluvmercs]

Last Monday, I popped over to a guy's house for a private photo shoot with my RS4.
The reason? The chap has a RHD Audi RS2!
I've never seen one close up, so I dually agreed to relish this opportunity. I wasn't able to get a passenger ride in his car, but I was able to have a good nose around
And what an astonishing car!

Anyway, I thought I'd share a couple of photos from the evening. There were pretty poor light conditions, and I'm not a professional photographer by an stretch of the imagination (as I'm sure you can see!).
However, enjoy!

RS2 just doesn't seem to age. Still a very fine looking motor indeed. Big fan of the RS4 as well, 10 years time maybe....

Good work!

no, the B7 was the first RS where the saloon looks better than the Avant

2 great looking cars, wheel sizes have come on a bit !

subjective and i disagree

BTW, that RS2 - it's not the 21k mile car is it??

24k miles - yup, it's that one
I hadn't met the owner before and saw him driving through my local city. I contacted him to ask if it was indeed him, I saw. Once confirmed, he asked if I could go over for the photos - turns out he only lives 20 minutes from me! Small world, eh?

Why the Porsche wheels though?

I can't believe some people don't know about the Porsche involvement. It was emphasized massively when the car was released and even if you missed that, you can spot all the parts a mile off. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the Porsche-style reflective strip between the tail lights.

Anyway, back on topic, both cars look great in the pics. You're a pair of very lucky owners!

Both cars are nice, lovely RS2 though would love to have one.

Porsche were also heavily involved with the development of the very much under-rated urS4/S6, particularly the steering and suspension.

For any one interested even a mildly tuned urS4/S6 gives away very little indeed to the RS2, for a tiny fraction of the price. Stealthier too.

Naaaa. Keep the 4 door RS4 and just get an RS2 as well as the 'sensible' car! Job done.
