Market Find: 2016 RS 7 performance in Nogaro Blue at Audi Naples
Our friend Sam Brandes from Audi Wilmington told us recently that he's seeing a renaissance for the C7 RS 7 Sportback. According to Sam, he's moved several over the last few weeks and he's buying any good examples he can find for his dealership's inventory in order to satiate this market desire. In the vein of C7 RS 7s then, we're not sure there are many specs that are more desirable than an RS 7 performance painted Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue. Bonus points for low mileage and condition.

Market Find: Mislabeled Suzuka Grey Audi RS 6 Avant in SC
Unless you look closely, Suzuka Grey is virtually white. It's also slightly on the cool side of the grey spectrum, as is Glacier White Metallic from the standard palette of the RS 6 Avant. So, when a 5K mile RS 6 Avant pops up at a Ford dealership, you'd forgive them for mislabeling the car. We found this car auto-listed (probably due to vIN) as Audi exclusive paint on a major listing site, and followed it through to the dealer site to find more information. While there, we found its listings where it's mislableled as Glacier White while also listing its VIN. Since we suspected it was Suzuka Grey, we ran the VING and found it confirmed it is indeed Suzuka Grey.
EU Market Find: Red-on-Red 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI
Nothing like a highly unique car in a highly unique build. In 1974, one year after producing the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, Porsche introduced the 911 2.7 with mechanical fuel injection (MFI). And while it had gone to G-body construction including bigger and heavier bumpers, it made up for that with countermeasures such as lighter seats an aluminum arms in the rear suspension. All told, it weighed in at 1075 kg (2370 lbs) and was capable of 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds... in 1974.
Market Find: Pink on Pink Final W12 Continental GTC in Beverly Hills
There's no doubt the Bentley Continental GTC you see here is polarizing. When the Bentley dealership in Beverly Hills commissions a special order car from Mulliner to celebrate the final W12 twin turbo delivery to the store, maybe it shouldn't be so surprising that they'd go with something as bold as pink over pink.

Market Find: “The Denmark Commission” Singer Classic Study Porsche 911
In modern parlance, the "Classic Study" from Singer is effectively its original format. While in the earliest days of the Southern California-based Porsche reimagineer this was the Singer model, subsequent launches of the extreme DLS or more G-body inspired Turbo now mean the original F-body or so-called "longhood" inspired car is known as the "Classic Study".
