This was meant to boost lagging sales of the Coupé and as partial replacement for the famous Audi Quattro.

The S2 featured the well-proven 2. 2-litre in-line five-cylinder 20-valve turbo petrol engine from the Audi 200 20V, which was a variant of the engine used in the Audi Quattro. A similar version of the engine was used in the Audi 100 based S4. The S2 came as standard with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, and featured a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission, and was capable of 150 mph....(Read more on Wikipedia)
