The Ur-quattro will always be a special car and because so, they are getting harder and harder to find in good condition. This one classifies as "good" if not "great" condition. The last of the breed, this is a 1990 example with only 81,092 miles since new.
The description says there's no damage aside from a small crack in the front splitter and only a couple of small blemishes in the Crystal Silver Metallic paint. All the glass and lens...

25, 5, 1...500. Numbers plucked from the air but these have meaning. Twenty five special S3s were built by Audi exclusive: 5 Vegas Yellow, 5 Glut Orange, 5 Sepang Blue, 5 Misano Red, and my personal favorite, 5 Viper Green. One because this one is for sale and 500...well that's how many horses live under this Viper Green hood.

Ok before y'all grab the torches and pitchforks, I know there wasn't a B5 RS 4 sedan but hold on until you've read the details on this car.
I ran across this Craigslist ad and it intrigued me not only because it was an RS 4 clone but it had to have been the most detailed ad I've ever read. The list of what was done goes on and on...and on. I sent an email to a friend who sent an email to a friend and befor...

In a recent interview, Audi of America's Scott Keogh mentioned a 'surprise RS model' coming to the States. The debate on our page quickly boiled down to an RS 4 Avant or an RS 6 Avant with some people throwing the RS Q5 into the mix.
That got me thinking about the granddaddy of them all, the RS 2 Avant. With the earliest ones built in 1994, that's only 1 year away til we can import them into the States. How many can I find for sale in Europe on ...

This is no ordinary 2010 Audi R8...this is an R8 LMS ultra with a racing history and it's for sale in France. Raced by Team SAINTéLOC, it campaigned at Spa Francorchamps, Nogaro, Monza, and Brands Hatch just to name a few.
Beyond that, there's not that much information on this particular vehicle.

To find a clean Ur-quattro in the States these days is getting harder and harder so I normally look at the European sites to get my fix. These cars were a fantasy of mine since middle school ever since I read about Rally Group B. On a whim, I decided to look Stateside and I ran across this 1985 beauty on the Gooding & Company website.

Words cannot describe the feelings I have for this Sepang Blue Avant. It's a 2006 A6 Avant that has been converted to an S6 Avant. A friend of ours pointed us to the Craigslist ad. That's right, it's a C6 S6 Avant...that's for sale...in Seattle.
German AutoHaus Woodinville built this wunderwagen sometime before 2016. The photo of the unpainted Avant pictured in the gallery was uploaded to their Facebook page in October 20...

Any conversation about which Audi is the most desirable and most likely, the RS 2 Avant is at or near the top of the list. Alas (at least for us in the States) we won't be able to legally import one until 2019 because of the 25-year import laws not to mention the sky high prices that are listed for them. Rats.
However, there are options. In 1993, Audi produced the S2 Avant powered by the 230hp 2.2L turbo 5. 1993 + 25 years = joy for Americans who want...

Every once in awhile (ok, pretty much every day), I look for cool cars for sale on the internet. Today, I ran across this 2008 RS 4. I see RS 4s come up for sale on a regular basis but what caught my eye on this one was the mileage listed- an almost unbelievable 9,650 miles. I say almost unbelievable because there isn't an actual photo of the odometer with the car on in the ad.
The second thing I noticed was that this RS 4 is an Audi exclusive m...
