Market Find: Audi exclusive Jet Blue Metallic R8 V10 plus
Will·
Some things tend to age better than others, don't they? Take this Tailored Audi exclusive Jet Blue Metallic R8 V10 plus for example. The facelift 1st gen R8 was handsome then, and to our eyes still is today. But where it tends to fall apart- as most do- is the interior.
EU Market Find: 2000 BMW M Coupe in Dakar Yellow (1 of 5)
Is a Dakar Yellow “clown shoe” the perfect storm of 90s era BMWs? For certain the color was iconic on the E36 M3, and the shootingbrake style of the Z3 M Coupe (a.k.a. “clown shoe”) is an icon in its own right. Both have fierce fans, so add them together and what do you get?
Market Find: 2022 Audi Q7 in Misano Red
The Audi Q7 is a bit of a Clark Kent. Underneath the dad wagon form of a 7-passenger SUV and more-often-than-not German Rainbow (read: shades of grey) color options lies a great-looking yet utilitarian family hauler. We're fans, and even bigger fans when it's ordered in a racier Audi exclusive color like Misano Red.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Java Green Metallic RS 5 Sportback
Will·
While it may be seen as polarizing by some, we tend to find Audi exclusive's Java Green Metallic to be quite stunning. Surprisingly dynamic depending on lighting conditions, images taken by selling dealer Audi Ontario (California) do a great job of capturing- with images taken in natural lighting conditions and a few taken with a healthy dose of auxiliary flash.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Squirrel Grey Golf R
Will·
In more ways than one, this Tailored Driver is what we'd call a sleeper. Volkswagen Spektrum Squirrel Grey, while certainly cool, doesn't exactly glow in the dark. Take a second look, and the only evidence that something might be up are the Stoptech calipers lurking being the front wheels, and an ever-so-slightly lower ride height than factory.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Dark Red Mica S7
Will·
While genuinely uncommon in the 'real' world, Audi exclusive Dark Red Mica has been somewhat of a frequent flyer in ours. Perhaps that's due to the color's understated nature while still distinctly standing out.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Iris Blue Metallic 911 Carrera 4S
Will·
If heritage is the aim, this Tailored Driver delivers. Finished in Porsche's Paint to Sample Iris Blue Metallic paired with Fuchs-style wheels and extended leather, one could certainly make a safe assumption in this 997.2 being inspired by an SC model.
Market Find: Rare Shade 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole
Ferrari’s 308 GTS Quattrovalvole stands as a sublime blend of classic styling and technical advancement. Designed by Pininfarina, its timeless targa-top form recalls the golden era of Italian sports cars. Introduced in the early 1980s, the Quattrovalvole (or “four-valve”) engine marked a notable evolution from earlier models.
Market Find: 2022 BMW Individual M5 CS in Frozen Deep Green Metallic
Every so often, a car surfaces that blends brutal performance with a level of exclusivity normally reserved for the very few.
Canadian Market Find: 2018 Volkswagen Golf R in Magma Orange
We're always fond of Volkswagen Golf R Spektrums. Highly unique, they're a great entry point into the tailored driver world. For Spektrum watchers, we particularly love watching the Canadian market where more than their usual share were sold and well-kept examples can be had should you be willing to jump through the few hoops it takes to import one. Among those cars, we believe Magma Orange may be one of the rarer examples and we've confirmed with a Spektrum expert that is the color on the car you see here.
