In 1987, the German company from Ingolstadt started
marketing the 90 saloon, which was more aerodynamic
in its design and better finished than the previous
generation. Three years later, the German manufacturer
unveiled the 90 S2 coupe, developing 220 horsepower.
The Audi S2 is the result of several years of experience in
the World Rally Championship in Group B, all adapted
for use on homologated roads. All the ingredients are
there, from the Quattro transmission to the 5-cylinder
turbocharged engine and a very efficient braking
system capable of stopping a 1420 kg beast. In order
to continue its move upmarket and its image policy, the
brand with the rings was counting on titillating BMW
and Mercedes in the mid-size sports sedan segment.
The Audi S2 will perfectly fulfill its role, preparing the
ground for several decades.
With its engine in a longitudinal position, coupled with
Quattro all-wheel drive and a Torsen central differential,
a KKK turbocharger and a 5-speed manual gearbox (first
generation), the performance is there. The torque is linear
and muscular, both at high and low revs.
The 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and the 1000 m
DA in 26.5 seconds crush its competitors such as the
Porsche 944 Turbo and the Alpine V6 Turbo, all with one
cylinder less! The Audi S2 even comes close to matching
the performance of big players like the BMW M3 E36
and the Ferrari 348. Quite a calling card.
On the running gear side, springs, shock absorbers,
struts, anti-roll bar, a larger shock absorber rod and an
anti-roll bar contribute to the efficiency and rigidity of
the chassis.
In 1992, the Audi S2 received a new 5-cylinder engine
(type ABY), which was derived from the engine of
the Audi S4 (type AAN). The ignition and boost
management are different, allowing the German to
increase from 220 hp and 309 Nm of torque to 230
hp and 350 Nm of torque. An overboost function even
allows it to temporarily increase to 380 Nm. The new
block is combined with a new gearbox, this time with six
speeds (also used by Porsche). The 0 to 100 km/h time
is reduced from 6.1 seconds to 5.8 seconds. This is the
case with the car we are presenting to you.
With 200,000 km on the odometer, our car is at the
beginning of its life when you know how reliable this car
is. The exterior is in beautiful condition and its Emerald
Green colour combined with its muted grey interior is a
magnificent combination.
Only 150 of the S2 Coupé were sold in France out of a
worldwide total of 7000 units...
As powerful as it is versatile. The S2 offers a generous
standard equipment, well finished, a melodious engine
and a flawless reliability.
So don’t hesitate any longer and simply treat yourself to
the best that Audi knew how to do at the time.
