 We were talking about the 25-year import rule on certain cars in the U.S. a while ago, as we featured an Audi RS2 Avant that had just made its way into the country. Here we are today, getting a glimpse of Doug DeMuro's new pride and joy.
Talking about the car, Doug is obviously thrilled about it: "I bought an Audi RS2 Avant! The RS2 is the first-ever Audi RS car, and it's my dream wagon, and I'm so excited that I have one." He further refers to the Porsche-built machine as the "greatest fast station wagon ever made."

Doug's car was built in 1994, which makes it one of the early models, and he paid over $70,000 for it. That makes it one of the most expensive models on the market, though that does reflect the overall good condition the car is in.

Doug also believes that this car is the first of its kind in California, which further adds to his joy of finally getting his hands on it, after wanting one for more than a decade.

Throughout the video, Doug showcases how big a role Porsche played in the development of the car, pointing out every single part that was shared with actual Porsches of the '90s, including the brakes, rims, mirrors, and fog lights.

Obviously, the connection doesn't stop on the outside, as even the five-cylinder engine has got 'Powered By Porsche' stamped on it, further increasing the bonkers level of this iconic station wagon. In fact, it would take Audi another decade to come up with a faster car from zero to 60 mph (96 kph).

As the years pass by, we will most likely be seeing more and more special cars becoming available in the U.S., as petrolheads from all across the country will start importing these cars in after years and years of waiting.
