Found an article on Jalopnik that led me to this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290629944975+&viewitem#ht_1941wt_1165) ebay link. I'm no expert so here's the question, is this real? I definitely would love to own one of these or a Quattro S1.

It could be real but there are some things that need to be investigated first. It doesn't have the upper air ducts but I am told those were optional. However, it doesn't appear to have the EVO wheels either. Also why all the corrosion on a car with such limited mileage?

Another suspicious thing is the owner doesn't list the final two digits in the VIN. If the full VIN was known you could check and see if it was a true EVO or not. You could also check the vehicle history. Considering the price difference and rarity between an EVO and non-EVO RS200 you would think the owner would make it very clear with irrefutable proof of the history and lineage of the car. If it is a true EVO model I would expect the final price to end up between $150k-$200k.

Here are pics of the one genuine RS200 EVO that is in Calgary.

^^^That's awesome. i didn't notice the wheels either, nice catch on that. In the end though, I guess it doesn't matter because it's not like I have the money :P
