It's funny, there are some colors that become meteoric, becoming so popular that they become iconic and risk becoming ubiquitous. Such is the case of Audi's Nardo Grey (nardfograu; UNI; LY7C; Audi exclusive), a light grey that came on the scene as a standout in Ingolstadt's RS car lineup.
Believed to be used initially as a launch color for the R8 GT, Samoa Orange Metallic (samoaorange; metallic UNI; X2U; Audi) embraced Audi's heritage for earth tones in the late 2000s, a time that also birthed Ipanema Brown and Teak Brown. This fiery dark orange would later be used as more of a standard color when the first-generation R8 got its facelift, then later on the TT competition. It even shows up on an R8 Mk2 on screen as Tony Stark's R8 Coupé in Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron. As a result, Samoa Orange Metallic remains a popular choice in the extended Audi exclusive color palette.
Bentley Motors is proud to have delivered a fleet of four personalised Bentayga EWB Azure SUVs to The Peninsula Hong Kong, the Flagship of The Peninsula Hotels that opened in 1928. Following the arrival of four bespoke Bentayga Hybrid’s at The Peninsula London earlier this year, the original and founding Peninsula hotel has chosen to bolster its fleet of chauffeur-driven house cars to include the extended-wheelbase Bentayga, which offers a larger cabin than any other luxury competitor.
