Market Find: White on White Homologation Special Audi Sport quattro
Whether this car qualifies to be highlighted on this site is perhaps debatable. On the positive side, it's one of only 164 road variants of the homologation special Audi Sport quattro ever built. That definitely makes it a limited production vehicle much like the Ferrari F40, yet it's a repaint (originally red) with a standard color (Alpine White), making it not factory original. Also, it's got a non-factory interior, so there's that.
Market Find: 2016 BMW Individual Frozen Black Metallic M6 Coupe
Will·
To quote Cars and Bids founder Doug Demuro, now THIS is cool! A Tailored Driver that’s just as spec-rare as it is production rare, this BMW Individual Frozen Black M6 coupe is one of just 23 total LCI models to be optioned with a 6 speed manual, and one of 68 to feature it throughout the model’s 5 year run. As an added bonus, this M6 was also optioned with a BMW Individual Opal White interior.
Market Find: 2013 Audi exclusive Papaya Orange Q5 hyrbid
Will·
Those memes about sending each other Facebook Marketplace listings of equal parts poor and awesome decisions at 1AM? That’s this Tailored Driver in a nut shell. Entering our radar over the weekend, this Audi exclusive Papaya Orange Q5 hybrid is the kind of thing fever dreams are made of- super rare color, weird options (tan interior and no sunroof?), and ‘needs work’ giving little context to why the price is so low.
Market Find: 2019 VW Golf R Spektrum in Irish Green
Beyond special or limited edition models, Volkswagen hasn't had its own in-house tailoring department. However, in 2019, then Golf product planner Megan Closset decided to take matters into her own hands. VW of America was never going to set up a program like Audi has with Audi exclusive, but by doing a very limited run of a large spectrum of colors she could effectively do the same thing. So, that run was made ergo "Spektrum", and those cars showed up at dealers with enthusiasts seeking them out like a Hot Wheels Treasuer Hunt.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Voodoo Blue RS 6 avant
Will·
Porsche's Paint to Sample Voodoo Blue slots right in between a number of popular Blues on the Tailored Driver spectrum- darker than Mexico Blue, lighter than Nogaro Blue, and much less bright than Riviera Blue. See here on an Audi RS 6 avant, Voodoo Blue is striking due to the sheer amount of it, although we feel it's not over the top.
Market Find: Canna di Fucile Ferrari 348 Spider in Broad Arrow Amelia Sale
One of the great things about a tailored build is the ability to move away from the predictable. On the spectrum of Ferrari, red over tan is ubiquitous, but grey over blue… now that’s something pretty unique. Such is the case with this ’94 348 Spider that’s been entered into the upcoming 2025 Broad Arrow auction held during The Amelia concours week in Florida.
Market Find: Brewster Green Audi exclusive S8
Even in the rare air of D-segment German luxury sedans, the Audi S8 tends to garner an extra level of respect as a performance legend thanks to its one-time association with the movie Ronin. Now throw in a special color with deep heritage like Porsche’s Brewster Green and pair that with always handsome Cognac leather interior and you have something very special.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Viola Purple Metallic 911 GT3
Will·
Not to be confused with the much darker Viola Metallic, Porsche's Paint to Sample Viola Purple Metallic is a much more playful, vibrant flavor of the historically royal color. When paired with Porsche's sporting GT3 variant of it's iconic 911, Viola Purple Metallic represents a juxtaposition that proves its Tailor is not one to take themselves too seriously.
Market Find: 2023 Porsche Paint to Sample Fjord Green 911 Carrera GTS
Will·
If much of the current Porsche market is the safe alternative short-term investment as it may seem, this Paint to Sample Fjord Green 911 Carrera GTS might be considered speculative at best. Allow us to explain- a claimed $136,000 in options were applied to this GTS, just $8,000 shy of matching of the car's $144,000 base price, and then it simply was not driven.
Market Find: F10 BMW M5 Competition in Yas Marina Blue. Hot or Not?
Based on the reaction to this car's post on the BMW Individual Market & Discussion group on Facebook, Yas Marina Blue is a surprisingly polarizing color. Even still, it's got strong BMW heritage having been a factory option color for the F80-generation BMW M3, and like the M2's Zandvoort Blue, it was stylistically intended to hark the Bavarian blue tone in the trim-colore rhombus design of the BMW Motorsport M badge. Frankly, we're fans, but it seems opinions are definitely split.
