One of the coolest cars Audi has made, we were of course deprived of it. Why must we always get screwed?

I can't speak about the RS2 specifically, but I nearly purchased a UrS4. The 5 cylinder turbos seem to easily go 300k, and often times a head-refresh makes them like new. When I was doing research on the S4, there were numerous pictures of owners that had torn down for rebuilds at 300k+, only to find the original cross-hatching still intact on the cylinder walls. The important bits last forever, it's just the electronics and brake "bomb" that cause problems. Still, very overbuilt, very cool cars. The RS2 even more so.
