[s-cars] Video of an Audi 200 MTM at Nurburgring

[Todd Phenneger]

Mihnea,
  Thanks.
I did read that it had the RS-2 Engine.  I missed the bit about
the 6-speed.  I didn't know the RS-2 had a 6-speed.  Even so
though, It appears thats not the RS-2 tranny but an Audi Sport
tranny with a 75% rear and 25% front bias.  COOL. I want one.
