The original Quattro proved to be such a success that by 1987, there was a four-wheel-drive version of every model in Audi’s line-up. And by 1993, one in 12 customers was buying an all-wheel-drive Audi. In the early Nineties, the biggest draw for Quattro fans was the S2 Coupé, which arrived in 1991. It was the flagship of the Audi 80-derived coupé range, and the first production car to wear the S badge.

The logo was made famous by the mighty World Rally-winning S1 competition car, and has adorned performance Audis ever since. The S2 Coupé’s 2.2-litre, five-cylinder engine can trace its roots back to the Sport Quattro, and original cars produced 220bhp with a five-speed manual gearbox. However, ours being a 1994 car has the power increased to 230bhp and a six-speed transmission.

With its two-door coupé body, the S2 was the spiritual successor to the original Quattro after the final version of the rally legend rolled off the production line in 1991. Clean styling ensures it looks far more modern, and it provides much improved refinement in the cabin.

Today, the S2 is a fast-appreciating modern classic, with the fantastic soundtrack from the 5-cylinder turbo that Audi has become renowned for. Our example has covered just 72,000 miles from new and has had subtle but valuable upgrades such as Porsche 968 Clubsport brakes, housed in slightly larger, genuine Audi wheels which provides our S2 with more confident road-holding and a proper way of controlling the astounding fire-power.

Finished in Dark Metallic Blue with Black and Beige leather/velour interior, our Audi S2 is a hugely enjoyable car with a great sense of occasion, blended with effortless performance which is more than enough to blow many new performance cars out of the water. We are sure this car will be an immensely enjoyable experience to anyone looking to get their own piece of German Performance History.

The car will be sold with a fresh MOT and possibly a new exhaust system which is our next and possibly last service upgrade to the car. When you enquire it may or may not have been done, but the price reflects the car in a completed state.
