<< you know, this is the Audi 90 quattro wagon sent to Porsche for muscle 
 building.  (Since I don't remember all the specifics of the car and would
have 
 to dig out one of the magazines, please jump in with specificity that I
don't 
 remember or get wrong.)  The car's engine has been prepped by Porsche to
turn 
 out 300 hp.  "Powered by Porsche" --I think those were the words-- is
emblazoned
   across the engine.  Visually, the most distinctive change is a set of
Porsche 
 Cup wheels with the red Porsche brakes. An S4/S6 type instrument  panel and
 a 
 set of Recaro seats in bright blue and black complete the visuals along with

 appropriate badging. ( I will get a magazine out so I can be a little more

Hmmmmm.....  Stick around a while longer Charles....  Lots of q's on this net
in the upper 200hp to 400hp trim running around....  Thank goodness for Ned
et.al. the power of the RS2 is available for your 10 or 20v turbo q.....  The
RS2 turbo itselfis readily available here in the states (tongue in cheek,
easy Scott)....  In fact, there are upgrades to the stuff they put in the
german version....  The 300+hp German RS2 is in fact a 20v turbo motor with
revised (read increased boost) engine management, and the Porsche spectd RS2
turbo....  Not really a big bux upgrade for any 20vturbo owner.....  The
brakes, altho impressive looking, are really not as desired as one would
think....  Not to put it down at all, it is an impressive machine...  But it
might be interesting to see EC put that beast up against a few of the more
tweeked turbo cars running around the states....
