"The RS2 Avant packed serious punch through its turbocharged 2.2-liter five-cylinder heart. This engine screamed to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. No wagon had ever moved this fast before. Porsche-tuned suspension kept everything planted during spirited drives. But here's what made it special beyond speed. The RS2 proved wagons could be genuinely cool. Wide fender flares housed massive wheels. Aggressive front spoiler announced serious intentions. Porsche 968 brakes provided stopping power that matched acceleration capability."
"Mattel just solved this automotive heartbreak completely. Hot Wheels Brick Shop debuts authentic building versions of two Audi icons that changed everything. The RS2 wagon that launched Audi Sport. The R8 LMS that conquered endurance racing. Hot Wheels captures this legend in 1:32 scale for $19.99. Four doors open independently showing interior details. The greenhouse roof lifts off completely. Period-correct Toyo Proxes R888R tires add authentic racing connection."
The 1994 Audi RS2 Avant now commands prices above $80,000 and clean examples are rare, making ownership unattainable for most enthusiasts. Audi collaborated with Porsche to create the RS2, which used a turbocharged 2.2-liter five-cylinder to reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and featured Porsche-tuned suspension and 968 brakes. Only 2,891 left the factory, and the RS2 launched a generation of fast wagons. Hot Wheels Brick Shop releases authentic 1:32 models of the RS2 and the racing-focused R8 LMS, with the RS2 model priced at $19.99 and detailed with opening doors, a removable roof, and period tires. The R8 LMS achieved seven overall Nürburgring 24 Hour victories and was developed specifically for GT3 competition.
