There’s rare, and then there’s this. Up for grabs at Audi West Palm Beach is a 2023 Audi e-tron S Prestige finished in Velvet Purple Metallic paired with a Rotor Gray Valcona leather interior that gives the car a bespoke presence and pairs amazingly with the e-tron-spec yellow/orange brakes and logos.

This one-owner, low-mile example (just under 10,000 miles) combines the electric performance of the e-tron S with Audi’s top-tier Prestige trim. Under the skin, the 2023 e-tron S leverages a three-motor electric powertrainproducing up to 496 horsepower and 717 lb-ft of torque, complete with quattro AWD and a brisk 0-60 mph in roughly 4.3 seconds when in boost mode — electric SUV authority with genuine sport-scar bite. 

Inside, the Prestige specification means premium touches like Valcona leather seating surfaces, a panoramic sunroof, Audi Virtual Cockpit and Bang & Olufsen® 3D premium audio, along with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance tech. That blend performance and distinctive color makes this Velvet Purple e-tron S stand out among typical EV listings.

In the broader context of used EVs, examples like this are still relatively uncommon: the e-tron S was a short-lived performance halo within Audi’s electric lineup that eventually became SQ8 e-tron. You don’t see them much even though they’re incredibly cool, and you almost never see them in an Audi exclusive color like Velvet Purple.
