History

The Audi quattro's official replacement is the S2 Coupé. The name was inspired by the Audi Sport quattro S1 / E2 rally car. The S2 comes with quattro permanent four-wheel drive as standard. The Coupé S2 was created in partnership with Konrad Schmidt Motorsport GmbH, with whom they also competed in the German Touring Car Championship in 1990 with the Audi V8 quattro DTM, and hit the market in September 1990 for 72,450 DM. It's based on the Audi Coupé B3 and is the series' flagship model. As a result, the B3 coupe's image should improve, as it has sold substantially less than its predecessor, the Audi Coupe B2. The production of the Audi Coupé S2 was discontinued in December 1995 after 7370 produced vehicles.

The body of the Coupé S2 is largely based on the coupe B3. The front end was redesigned with a hood with integrated grille, which debuted similarly in the Audi V8 . Thus took the S2 coupe already 1990 the optics for the new Audi 80 B4 , which came 1991 to the market, ahead. sedan and Avant are visually based on their standard versions of the Audi 80 B4. All S2 versions received a front bumper with integrated front spoiler and a slightly revised rear bumper. The S2 emblems on the front grille and the rear of the vehicle also reveal the S2.

The standard equipment includes, among others, the Procon-ten safety system as well as ABS , a headlight cleaning system, a central locking system and electric windows. Inside are sports seats and a three-spoke sports steering wheel with incorporated S2 emblem installed. In addition, three additional instruments can be found in the center console on which oil temperature, oil pressure and the vehicle electrical system voltage can be read. These instruments were deposited on the Audi S2 in light gray.

The Audi Avant S2 came in February 1993 on the market. It followed in July 1993, the sedan, which was sold under the name Audi S2. Both are based on the Audi 80 B4 . The Avant S2 was built from 1993 to 1995 a total of 1812 made. In 1993 and 1994, only 306 sedan saloons left the factory. In 1995, the sedan was no longer built. The production of the Avant S2 ended together with that of the Audi 80 B4 in 1995.

Engine

The engine of the Coupé S2 ( MKB : 3B) is derived from the engine of the last-built Audi quattro 20V (MKB: RR) and was also installed in the Audi 200 quattro 20V. He initially provides 162 kW (220 hp). Due to the space of the B3 coupe body, however, the engine peripherals had to be adjusted. Thus, the intake and exhaust tracts were redeveloped and the air duct of the oil cooler was changed. The vehicle is equipped with two lambda-sensor- controlled catalytic converters and thus complies with the Euro 1 emission standard . Furthermore, the fully electronic engine management adapts independently to the operating conditions throughout the entire engine running time.

In 1992, the coupe S2 was a facelift. So now the engine (MKB: ABY) (derived from the AAN engine from the Audi S4) was used. This produces 169 kW (230 hp) and has a torque of 350 Nm. For a short time, an overboost function produces a torque of 380 Nm. In addition, the ignition system (single ignition) and the boost pressure control differ from the previously used engine. The five-speed manual has been replaced by a six-speed manual transmission, in which the last gear, however, is no longer translated, than that of the five-speed derivative. This engine use since its launch in 1993, Avant and sedan.

The ABY engine is a revised version of the 3B engine. The hull engine has generally stayed the same. In addition to the lack of overboost of the ABY has the 3B a mechanical ignition distributor (ABY: single ignition) and the underbody was adapted for the catalysts, which the driver's seat had to be changed.
