Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum ’91 Blue Golf R
Will·
What's the origin of '91 Blue? We don't really know, but it's not that we haven't tried to figure it out. We even reached out to a member of the product team at Volkswagen who made the cars happen. Here's what we got.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Sarantos Turquoise Golf R
Will·
Tailored Driver has covered the one-year-only Volkswagen Spektrum Golf R models in the past, but this one is a bit special. Sadly not present at last weekend's gathering of R's called "Wookies in the Woods" and held annually near Robbinsville, NC- where many Spektrums were present- this particular car has plenty of VW event history.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive S4 Sedan in Nogaro Blue
Audi's S4 has great history with Nogaro Blue. Audi's bold answer to classic French Blue was a launch color on the first B5 S4, again on the B6 S4 and was offered as special edition in the B8 S4 era. Readers of this site probably also know it was a color born with the iconic Porsche-developed Audi RS2 Avant. As a result, Audi aficionados tend to seek out Nogaro Blue cars. This makes a Nogaro Blue S4 a very sweet thing indeed.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Racing Green Metallic 718 Cayman GT4 RS
Will·
To those Tailored Driver fans who see this 718 Cayman GT4 RS and immediately think "Aston"- you're not wrong. Porsche's Racing Green Metallic is "Ice Ice Baby" to Aston's "Under Pressure", which is to say it's nearly the same, and for good reason.
Market Find: New 2025 Audi RS 6 performance in Velvet Purple
You’ve gotta love the Peanut Butter and Jelly spec on a great car. Combine with the peanut buttery smoothness of Cognac leather with grape-like Audi’s Velvet Purple and you have an incredible car for fans of purple specifications.
Market Find: McLaren MSO Satin Urban Green 765LT Spider
Will·
Sort of the opposite of that line from Field of Dreams, McLaren Special Operations exists in a world of If you come we will build it. Understandably, this can take the form of an infinite number of different Tailored Drivers, so it makes our life a bit more difficult.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue S4 Sedan
Will·
If you've been an Audi fan for a while, chances are that when the Four Rings replaced the iconic Nogaro Blue with Sprint Blue for the B7 generation of S4 and RS 4 you questioned the decision. And when the B8 launched with Sprint as well, it became apparent that Audi wasn't going back to the Nogaro well any longer, but at the time Audi exclusive was simply not widely known as a path to right that wrong.
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.
Market Find: 2025 BMW Individual M5 Sedan in Ruby Star Neo
It may have begun as a Porsche Carrera Cup color of the 964 era, but Ruby Star has been a popular choice for BMW Individual for a very long time. Yes, it's polarizing, but this hot pink is also impossible to miss. It's a bold choice, particularly for what looks like part of the new car inventory at BMW of Cincinnati North.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Riviera Blue RS 5 Coupe
Will·
Riviera Blue has been covered here before, and for good reason- it's a wildly popular bright blue that genuinely looks incredible when applied to all brands covered by Tailored Driver. Seen here on a 2018 Audi RS 5 with a tasteful yet subtle feature on it's Brake Calipers as well, this Tailored Driver also features several unknown modifications.
