There’s a funny thing about the 2013 TT RS Final Edition. It was supposed to be Nimbus Grey, the same color that adorned the original Audi TTS concept and was a staple in the early years of the TT. As the folks at Audi prepared to sunset the Mk2 Audi TT RS, they planned a limited run of 30 cars in the same specification.

Said specification was intended as something that would speak to TT enthusiasts. In addition to Nimbus Grey paint, it got black leather with red leather accents, sport exhaust, titanium-finished 19-inch “rotor” design wheels, heated seats and Technology Package that included adaptive xenon headlights and 12-speaker BOSE audio. That was all well and good, but when the TT RS Final Editions started showing up, you couldn’t miss the obvious. They weren’t grey at all. In fact, they were green. In person, they look like Nimbus Grey if you tinted it with a green more on the cyan side of the green spectrum.

It’s funny, when you see these cars listed they are often listed consistently with their window stickers, like this example on Bring a Trailer listed as Nimbus Grey. Park it next to a real Nimbus Grey car though and the difference is immediately obvious.

Whether that makes these cars more or less desirable is of course in the eye of the beholder. Regardless, this one appears to be a well preserved example with decently low miles.
