It’s quirks and features galore as Doug DeMuro reviews the two in one video
by Tudor Rus, onDon’t know who Doug DeMuro is by now? Well, Google is your friend. Those who are indeed familiar with DeMuro’s style of reviewing a car know that the man is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to unearthing quirks or hidden features. For you, this video should be like a fat slice of cake with a double topping of Audi RS goodness.
Doug DeMuro brings together the 1994 Audi RS2 and the brand-new 2021 Audi RS6 Avant and we've got to hand it to you, this generation gap can't get any bigger.
Obviously, the RS2 isn’t a direct ancestor of the RS6 Avant, but it’s the car that sparked and fueled the souped-up station wagon madness for Audi more than 25 years ago and it’s that beautiful madness that lets us enjoy the RS6 Avant today.
There’s also no point in comparing the two super-wagons in terms of specs. I mean, the RS2 wouldn’t stand a chance in front of the newer, bigger, and also way faster RS6 Avant.
Sure, the RS2 came to life with a little aid from Porsche, but you simply can’t win the fight with modern technology, which inside the RS6 Avant is synonymous to a 4.0-liter V-8 cranking out 591 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.
Speaking of big, just have a look at how the two wagons fare against each other when it comes to wheel and brake size. In fact, the RS6’s brakes are just about as large as the RS2’s wheels. Now let that detail sink in for a moment before getting the full DeMuro treatment in the video below.
