Market Find: Blue over Blue Ferrari F40 Bound for RM Sotheby’s Monterey Car Week Sale

George·July 15, 2025

Given all Ferrari F40s produced by the factory were red-over-red, this means any F40 not appearing in red has been repainted. Of course, playing in the rare air of Ferrari F40s, one can assume a color change done after the fact will likely be done correctly... and most tastefully in this case given its Azzurro Hyperion, a shade of silvery blue, over blue interior.

Market Find: Audi exclusive S5 Sportback in Kyalami Green

George·July 9, 2025

There's something very Goldie Locks about the Audi S5 Sportback. It's hotter than the budget A5 and a little more attainable than the RS 5. In a lot of ways, it's "just right". Add in a rare Audi exclusive color and goldie gets a little hotter... err... also greener in this case.

Market Find: Totally Not Merlin Purple Audi exclusive RS Q8

George·July 7, 2025

When we find mislabeled cars, we tend to approach them with mixed feelings. On one hand, we wish there were an easier way to verify colors for dealerships not completely in the know to the ins and the outs of special order paint cars. On the other, it’s a challenge to spot them and can be a total find when you realize you know something others do not.

Market Find: 2022 Audi Exclusive RS 5 Sportback in Citrus Yellow

George·July 1, 2025

Here's an interesting instance of a Tailored Driver alumni post. We've seen this car, and posted about it back in March. Back then, it was at Audi Jacksonville. Since that time, it appears the car's been serviced with new tires, but has yet to find a new home.
