Aquired Taste
Market Find: CPO PTS Porsche 718 Spyder RS at Porsche Jacksonville
The 718 Spyder you see here is a fascinating thing. On one hand, it's an always impressive GT4 RS. On the other, it features so many nods to Porsche heritage that we suspect viewers may find it polarizing. In as much, we're going to also drop it into our "Acquired Taste" category.
Market Find: New Mandel Beige over Blue Audi exclusive RS 6 performance at Cavender
Sometimes you just wonder the story behind a unique spec. This Audi RS 6 performance certainly qualifies, with obscure exterior color and unexpected custom interior color sitting new at Audi Dominion in Texas.
Euro Market Find: Violet Blue Metallic over Tartan Porsche 968 Cabriolet
It’s a funny thing about bold factory specifications. They can go full Buffalo Girl and go ’round the outside, coming back into solid ironic cool status. On the surface, we don’t know many Porschephiles who place the 968 Cabriolet on their short list of cars to own. Same goes for Viola Metallic – a medium metallic purple in a world where purple can be polarizing.
Market Find: Pastel Yellow on Green 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Green on yellow was a thing for a hot minute amongst some cars in the 1970s. Outside of that moment in history, it is a unique and acquired taste sort of decision. No doubt polarizing, we have equally no doubt that such a combination on a rare and low mileage 993-generation Porsche 911 Carrera 4S would be treasured by the right buyer.
Is this Violet / Rubystar S/T the Definition of Aquired Taste?

Acquired Taste Market Find: Estoril Blue Audi S7 with Avantgarde Interior Choice
When it comes to Audi exclusive builds for the USA, cars with special exterior paint are most likely to be encountered. Special interiors are rare, and extravagantly custom interiors are even rarer. Take for example this Estoril Blue S7 Sportback, looking pretty normal on the outside. Open a door and climb inside though, and you'll find a multi-tone interior likely very specifically made for the car's original owner.
Market Find: Continental GT S in Lilac Frost at Bentley Beverly Hills
Maybe it just makes sense, but Bentley Beverly Hills has established itself as one of the foremost stockists of pastel-colored Bentley motor cars. We’ve highlighted them before on this site, and this particular purple Continental GT S fits snugly within that mold
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic 528i
Will·
Europe in the 90's, man. What a strange time. The kind of time, in fact, where a well-to-do professional would put down real money for a brand new 528i, opt for BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic (great!), and also check the box for whatever this two-tone blue and beige, umm, statement piece is.
EU Market Find: 1 of 1 BMW Individual 316ti Compact in Fiji Green
This color combination isn't for everybody, but we suspect anyone who fully embraces automotive trends of the 1990s, particularly the quirkier German side of those trends, then we think you'll love this car.
EU Market Find: Nogaro Blue Audi S2 Avant?
Wait, it’s a low mileage Nogaro Blue S2 Avant and it’s an “Acquired Taste” car? What gives. Okay, yes, it’s perfect spec color choice and modifications that are there appear to be tasteful, but if our translation tool is reading that ad correctly, it’s a color change to Nogaro Blue from the original color listed as Burnt Orange for which the seller states and Apple translated “according to Audi only three vehicles in the color were delivered”.
