With the start of our weekly Find of the Day video episodes, I thought it would hard for me to find an Audi that I can just use for the website but I didn't have to worry; there are so many great ones out. Take this Daytona Grey RS 6 at Speedärt Motorsports in Miami for example. While searching for my three picks for this week's episode, I ran across this and knew I couldn't wait until Friday......

So Episode 1 of the Find of the Day: Throwdown Edition is in the bag and what a fun and learning experience it was. All of our guests brought their A game and as we had hoped, there was great discussion and banter amongst everyone but the questions remains...which Audi S2 should have been crowned as THE Find of the Day? Will Barber's 600hp S2 hillclimb race car or Jamie Orr's S2 Avant?
John Acton may actually buy the ur-S4 ...

Audi Club did our 1st Find of the Day Throwdown Edition last Friday and while it was fun to see who brought what to the table, a fierce debate broke out in the comments and in our roundtable of what car should have actually won. Will Barber, our Audi of America club liaison, found this gem: a 600hp Audi S2 hill climb race car. Oof...full sequential gearbox and fully FIA homologated. This should have ...

He bought the 2015 'Nardo R8' brand new and never looked back. It's been to 48 states, 22 countries, and has seen 150+ track days. Over those years, it racked up 143,000 miles. Garage queen it is not.
