Market Find: 2022 Audi RS Q8 with Audi exclusive Ocean Blue Leather
Will·
Sure, we love a good exterior but as they say- it's what's on the inside that counts. Audi's Glacier White paint is augmented by the frankly stunning Audi exclusive Ocean Blue leather interior on this Tailored Driver, resulting in a fairly stealth OEM build if not for the copper Avant Garde wheels.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Merlin Purple Q3
Will·
The world of Tailored Driver never ceases to amaze. Just two weeks ago we featured a 2020 Audi Q3 in Audi exclusive Merlin Purple, and we waxed poetic about how uncommon it is to see a Q3 in a custom-order hue. Guess we’re eating crow here, as another Q3 in the very same Merlin Purple has been spotted in Texas.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Arrow Grey R8
Will·
The Audi R8 has been heralded as an everyday supercar since inception, and having spent quite a bit of time living with both generations, we'd have to agree. Admittedly a bit flashier choice than say, a 911, this particular R8 is still what we consider a fairly understated spec.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Balloon White Pearl RS 7 sportback
Will·
We've always loved the 'LEGO' nature of Volkswagen Group vehicles, which has allowed for some wildly inventive and impactful OEM+ upgrades on platform share vehicles over the years. With a catalog of hits as deep as theirs, it can also extend to colors as well, which is exactly what we're presenting in this Tailored Driver.
EU Market Find: 1994 Audi S2 Avant in Porsche Onyx Green
Here’s an interesting specimen that popped up on the European market recently – an Audi S2 in the ’80s era Porsche 924 color Onyx Green Metallic. We’ve never seen an Audi S2 in this color before and the listing doesn’t state that it’s a respray, so we’re guessing it’s a very early example of Audi exclusive paint. In this period, custom paint did happen on these cars though it’s more common (yet still uncommon) on the hotter RS2.
Market Find: 2016 Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 7
Will·
When it rains, it pours. Just a few days ago, we featured a different Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 7, and here we have another. Albeit not a Performance model like our prior post, this RS 7 packs plenty of performance courtesy of the deep aftermarket support that brands like Audi benefit from. All told, this RS 7 is said to have about 800 horsepower, which is certainly more than enough to do just about anything- legal or not.
Market Find: 2022 Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey RS 5 sportback
Will·
Within the Tailored Driver spectrum, it's difficult to get more subtle than Audi's Suzuka Grey. Pearl off-white in the right light and simply basic white in others, the color blends into the parking lot masses more than you'd expect. In fact, it's so subtle that it's nearly impossible to accurately capture in photos, making it somewhat of a hard sell when time comes to spend $3,500 on Tailored paint.
Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive Nimbus Grey RS 5
Will·
The B8.5 generation of RS 5 was a pretty rowdy car, with it's incredibly high-revving V8 and subtle box flares, wrapped in a package that is aging incredibly well. Not many left the factory with Audi exclusive paint, so this particular example finished in Nimbus Grey is not only cool, it's also quite rare. Your guess is as good as ours as to why it's at a Nissan dealer, but we feel this may be a great case of a Dealer not really knowing what they've got. If you're interested, act fast.
Market Find: 2016 Audi exclusive Nardo Grey A7
Will·
The nuance of what is truly special or not can be tiresome to most, but our guess is that if you were in that camp, you wouldn't be here. It's through that lens, that we feature this Tailored Driver. Nardo Grey was offered on the Audi A7 as a standard color on the Competition variants, of which this is not and it predates by two years.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Graphite Blue Metallic S4 Sedan
Will·
The Audi S4 is a damn fine sports sedan, and we feel it represents a fairly good value in the used car market- even when Audi exclusive paint has been applied. What's more compelling for this particular example is that of the roughly 80 pre-approved Audi exclusive hues available to customers in 2018, Graphite Blue Metallic was not one of them.
