Nogaro Blue is a rare and sought-after hue for Audi enthusiasts, but an S2 Coupé wearing what appears to be the factory color is a considerably less common sight. This Austrian example appears to combine that rarity with a six-speed manual and a selection of recognizable enthusiast upgrades. At 190,000 kilometers, it has also accumulated enough use to put its appeal firmly in the realm of a distinctive driver.
First registered in May 1993, the car is advertised as an ABY-engined S2 with a turbocharged 2.2-liter five-cylinder, quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission. The listing records 169 kW, or 230 PS, although the seller’s description of engine work and additional turbo equipment means its current output needs clarification.
If confirmed as factory Nogaro Blue, this would be an unusually specified example of a model more frequently encountered in other period colors. The combination gives the S2 a visual connection to the legendary RS2, though they never offered an RS2 Coupé.
It supplies neither a paint code nor documentation establishing its original finish. A factory build record or original vehicle data sticker would help distinguish a rare factory specification from a later repaint. Also worth noting, at this time the color with that paint code was offered as “RS Blau”. Whatever, we believe this car is that color.
Inside, the listing specifies black cloth upholstery and sports seats. We see quattro script fabric that is sought-after, though it appears a little faded and worn – not terrible, but some wear.
The seller lists H&R coilovers, BBS LM wheels and a Porsche Cayenne brake conversion. These are largely tasteful choices for an S2: established components that suit the car’s period enthusiast character without requiring an extensive visual reinvention. Though the Kyalami-ish green paint on those Cayenne calipers may be polarizing, that should be an easy enough change.
The engine has reportedly been rebuilt, with further details available on request. A spare gearbox and a second turbo kit with an accompanying map are also mentioned. The advertisement refers to various modification approvals, although it does not explain which changes are covered or provide the supporting paperwork.
Those details deserve attention at the €42,000 asking price. Rebuild invoices, the installed turbo specification, current calibration and brake-conversion documentation would provide a clearer picture of what is being offered.
The attraction here is the combination of an ABY six-speed S2, considered upgrades and a potentially exceptional factory color. Confirming the paint’s provenance would make this Austrian Coupé a particularly interesting find for someone seeking an individual Audi they can continue to drive.
