We ran a check on this car and drew a blank. No information was available via our first check source. And while we can go to a contact at the factory for additional information, we try to only do that when we're stumped. In this case, we're not really stumped and are fairly certain the car is Cumulus Blue.
There's something about a low mile and recent year tailored build from a top luxury manufacturer. Letting someone else pay the premium to make something spectacular is a great way to get a shrewd price on a modern offering, and we think this Isle of Man Green X6M fits the bill.
It's always fascinating when you find a tailored specimen on a mass platform like Carvana. Sort of like happening upon a Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt toy in a bin at Walmart, it makes for a delightful experience you're not likely going to replicate anytime soon.
A car like the Goodwood Green Audi S8 you see here makes a compelling case for a number of different reasons. For starters, it's a nearly ten-year old S8 (D4 generation) stemming from a time before diesel gate, meaning cost cutting at Audi and its parent the Volkswagen Group hadn't yet truly begun. For many, this makes it relatively pinnacle in that era of great cars coming from a large manufacturer managing historically renowned marques.
While some cars are debatably tailored, others are clearly so and likely one-of-one depending on the measure. We're guessing this 2006 Boxster S showing up at a California Mazda dealer may be the latter. The color (bonus points to Mazda Escondido for being aware of this and including it int he listing) is Paint to Sample Rolex Green.
The formula here is pretty simple. This is a well-appointed RS Q8 in Audi exclusive Merlin Purple with black wheels and black optics that mute the purple just enough. However, it doesn't end there.
