If you look on the manufacturer tag under an RS4's bonnet, you'll notice that the manufacturer is quattro GmbH instead of Audi. As such, the RS4 is not an Audi but a quattro.

Not sure about RS2s being WUA, as they have been assembled by Porsche and the manufacturer's tag says Audi if memory serves...

HTH,

RS2 VINs start with WAC and they were assembled by Porsche in Zuffenhausen. So this confirms my theory that quattro GmbH cars are WUA, not just all RS's. AFAIK the Audi S6+ was built by quattro GmbH too so the chassis number should also be WUA, I'll double check with 2 friends in France that own one.

CheeRS,
