Can anyone please point me in the direction of any scans or web pages of contemporary road tests of the Audi RS2?

I would be very interested to relive the impact of the car on launch (particularly the launch Autocar managed to give it to beat the 0-30 time of the Williams F1 Car of the time)

Many thanks

Not sure it was quicker than a Williams F1 car, Autocar I think ran with a cover that proclaimed it quicker than a Mclaren F1 to 30.

Plotloss is referring to the McLaren F1 road car, rather than a McLaren GP car. He's right, too.

PM me you email address and I`ll mail you some reviews, I have several. It was tested quicker to 30 than the mclaten F1, and according to `classic and sportscar` was also quicker than an F1 car but they dont say which one and I cant find anywhere else that makes that claim.

similar but articles scanned from magazines over the years for the S2 and all its variants

the 0-30 i remember reading this article years ago, it was autocar and i think the brighton speed trials. It was up against a raft of other supercars including the maclaren and was either quicker or as quick. I recall it being 1.5 seconds to 30, better still memory serves me right it was because you could slam the gearbox from 1st to 2nd without using the clutch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzI2uciaNmY
