In 1994, Audi and Porsche joined forces to create something the automotive world had never seen before: the Audi RS2 Avant-a family wagon capable of supercar performance. What emerged from that unlikely collaboration was not just a fast car, but a revolutionary machine that redefined the boundaries between practicality and speed. Blueprint for the Super Wagon tells the complete, fact-based story of how the RS2 was conceived, engineered, and brought to life, and how it laid the foundation for an entire generation of high-performance vehicles.
From Audi's resurgence in the early 1990s to Porsche's precision engineering influence, this book traces every detail of the RS2's creation and legacy. It explores the development of its legendary turbocharged five-cylinder engine, its groundbreaking performance benchmarks, and the cultural impact that continues to resonate more than three decades later.
