Ahhhhhhh!  How come you're so lucky?!!!  I'm pretty sure it's the coupe 
version of the RS2 Avant that Porsche built when an opening occured from 
loss of the MB wagon contract (500 series I think).  The RS2 Avant has a 
Porsche-turboed Audi I5 making 315 bhp, 6-speed manual transmission, 
Quattro (of course), and Porsche 968 wheels and brakes.

Maybe I'm wrong.  I've heard talk of an RS4 and an RS8 - maybe that's 
Audi's new designation for the hot turboed versions of the current model 
lineup.
