Audi S2 Coupe 2.2i Turbo 20V (230 Hp) quattro


Audi S2:

The Audi S2 is an Audi sports car, manufactured by the division of quattro GmbH on the same platform as the Audi 80 in Neckarsulm, Germany, produced from 1991 to 1995. The Audi S2 is the first car in the Audi S series. In 1994, a more powerful Audi RS 2 Avant was released.
Together with Konrad Schmidt Motorsport GmbH , who had been responsible for Audi's DTM version of the V8 quattro, Audi developed a sports version of the Coupé in September 1990 called the Audi S2. This was meant to boost lagging sales of the Coupé and as partial replacement for the famous Audi Quattro. The front was revised to match the Audi V8, with new headlights and a grille with a body-coloured surround, a look which was then introduced on the entire Audi range before long. The S2 featured the well-proven 2. 2-litre in-line five-cylinder 20-valve turbo petrol engine from the Audi 200 20V, which was a variant of the engine used in the Audi Quattro. A similar version of the engine was used in the Audi 100 based S4. The S2 came as standard with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, and featured a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission, and was capable of 150 mph....(Read more on Wikipedia)
