Market Find: Cumulus Blue Audi exclusive RS 6 Avant in Maryland
The Audi RS 6 performance is already a compelling case, though a rare Audi exclusive color sends it over the edge. In the case of this new car inventory RS 6 from Audi Frederick in Maryland, that color is Cumulus Blue.
Market Find: 1999 BMW Individual Violet Blue M3 Evolution Convertible
Will·
The M3 we didn't get, in a color we couldn't- there's a ton to like here. Sure the E36 generation's M3 was offered in the US, but to many enthusiasts (or snobs), the S52 that powered it wasn't really an M motor, just a 328i motor that'd been hot rodded a bit. Regardless of opinion, this M3 has the full-fat M3 Evo motor, and more importantly, the 6 speed manual that was specific to the Evo version.
EU Market Find: 1992 Porsche Paint to Sample Violet Amaranth 968 Cabriolet

The prospect of an "internal" car is always an interesting one. Generally ordered by a executive, a board member, or simply a department looking to get a reaction, a given brand rarely orders a vehicle without some larger purpose.
EU Market Find: Great Spec Manual Mercedes C124 E 300 Coupe
Log this car in as under the tasteful and rare factory specifications column, and maybe something you only would find in a market like Italy. Yes, it appears to be an order guide specification, but its combination an exercise in extravagance more akin to a passionate Italian than a logical German.
Market Find: 2023 Sonderwunsch Porsche 911 Sport Classic Set Broad Arrow Amelia Island Sale
It takes a special kind of buyer to dip into Paint to Sample, much less Sonderwunsch, orders with a solid approach to subtlety. It happens though, and we appreciate it because what makes the car special becomes less of a look-at-me scream and more of an invitation of if-you-know-you-know nods from those who get it.
EU Market Find: Viola Ophelia Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4
When we feature cars from Europe or other markets, we tend to limit them to cars that are of an age that is easily importable. From Europe to the U.S., that’s 25 years and so a car first sold in 2027 like this Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 doesn’t qualify.
EU Market Find: Speed Yellow Porsche 968 Clubsport
There are fewer and fewer deals to be had in the Porsche world, particularly amongst rare models, performance models or in rare colors. That's why the never-sold-new-in-America 968 Clubsport is a favorite of ours.
Market Find: 2025 Audi RS 7 Sportback in Goodwood Green
We are always, and I mean always, fans of dealer salespeople getting the jump on tailored builds by posting them to enthusiasts on social media. We’ve seen it happen all the time, an enthusiast at the dealership knows what they have, grabs their own photos and shares them online as Danny Alves just did.
Market Find: 2019 Volkswagen Spektrum Viper Green Golf R
Will·
We've covered Spektrum Golf R's here before, and each time one pops up it's admittedly somewhat of a surprise. Cult following, roughly 200 built (33 in Viper Green), enthusiast brand and model- which is a long way to say "these things are sold before hitting market."
Market Find: 2015 BMW Individual Grey Black 335i Sedan
Will·
Individual builds on non-M BMW’s are uncommon for a number of reasons, so when an example shows up it’s important to take note. After all, special order vehicles generally are more of an aspirational pursuit generally reserved for the more aspirational models- think BMW M, Porsche’s 911, Audi RS, etc.
