Tailored Audi RS Q8 Legacy Edition by ABT Individual
For those who thought with the launch of the recently introduced ABT RSQ8 Legacy Edition, one of the most popular Audi SUVs, couldn't get even more exclusive, they have not considered the design specialists from ABT. They have crowned the SUV flagship with an ABT Individual interior package.
EU Market Find: Nogaro Edition Audi ur quattro in Switzerland
Despite evidence you may see here suggesting otherwise, Nogaro Blue as a paint color didn’t show up at Audi until the RS2 era. If you’re doing the math, that’s about a decade before this 1983 Audi quattro left the factory. Yet here it sits.
So how’d it happen? Auto Bordin, the Swiss dealer listing this car tells the story fairly comprehensively, and so we’re going to post the English translation below.
Market Find: “1 of 1” Citrus Yellow Audi RS 5 in Jacksonville
The dealer listing for this car suggests the car is one of one. While we've not been able to confirm that claim, we do know that Citrus Yellow is not as common in Audi exclusive parlance as say a Vegas Yellow or an Imola Yellow.
Market Find: Audi SQ5 in Porsche Mahogany Metallic
It may be subtle, but this Audi SQ5 represents a double dose of rare decisions in the tailored ordering segment. First, going with a subtle color like Brown takes an extra commitment to the decision given the extra money to go with special paint may be lost on many who see the car. Second, going across brand borders into the palette of another manufacturer, in this case Porsche, suggests even more commitment given that likely makes the special paint that much more of a financial commitment.
EU Market Find: Audi exclusive Santorin Blue RS 4 Avant
Will·
It's not hyperbole when we say the staff of Tailored Driver has been waiting 25 long years for the B5 generation RS 4 Avant to be importable, and while we'd need to hold off for another year for this MY2001 example, it just may be worth the wait. Now admittedly Santorin Blue is not at the top of our list, the simple fact that this was painted at the factory by a still incredibly under-the-radar Audi exclusive team should not go un-noticed.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Goodwood Green A6 allroad at BMW of Minnetonka
Given the focus on the Audi RS 6, most enthusiasts seeking a special station wagon from the brand of the four rings tend to apply Audi exclusive paint services to the big dog RS car. Comparatively though, the A6 allroad is a veritable bargain. Build it to Prestige specification in the order guide then throw on a great-looking special paint color from Audi exclusive and you have a very special thing.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Brilliant Red B8.5 A4 allroad
The B8.5-generation Audi allroad is from an interesting time at Audi. Sandwitched as it was between the departure of the A4 Avant S line (A4)and predating the arrival of the RS 6 Avant (C8), the A4 allroad represented quite literally the only station wagon for several years. This placed the focus of many enthusiasts on a model that, at least in Europe, would have been rather boring. It doesn't matter, they were loved and not uncommonly ordered in tailored specification like this Audi exclusive Brilliant Red example.
Color Check: Audi exclusive RS 3 Sportback in Daytona Grey Polar Matte Effect
It’s fair to say that Audi’s Daytona Grey is relatively ubiquitous. The shade has been offered on so...
Market Find: Audi exclusive Deep Green Pearl RS Q8 performance in NJ
We've seen the same story play out over and over, and we love it when it happens. Enthusiast working at dealership sees a special build car come into inventory and gets the word out to brand aficionados often before the dealership even has photos of the car on their website.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey SQ5
Will·
Audi exclusive Kemora Grey is hot, and for our money the SQ5 is one of the more under-rated models in Audi’s current lineup. Does that make this a must-have Tailored Driver? Maybe, if not for the seeming astronomical list price of $77,285.. and that’s after you factor the $5,000 discount placed on its hood.
