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.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Kemora Grey Metallic S7 sportback
Will·
First offered on the Audi RS 3, Audi exclusive Kemora Grey Metallic is a modernized take on the incredibly popular Nardo Grey, with a hint of cyan added for good measure. It's the kind of subtle Grey we're sort of surprised wasn't offered by Audi in the US as a series option on more models, but thankfully we've seen that numerous Tailors have rectified this issue via posts on many different social media platforms.
Market Find: 2017 Audi exclusive Nimbus Grey R8 V10 plus

Audi exclusive Nimbus Grey, a supercharged V10 nestled behind your ear, and carbon bits sprinkled throughout... what's not to love?
Color Focus: Audi RS Blue – M8
In the world of OEM paint colors, we sometimes see name changes without reformulation. One example is Audi's RS Blue (rsblau; pearl effect UNI; M8; Audi) that is perhaps the most iconic (and likely most popular) color of the Audi RS2 stock color offerings. By the time the color returned on Audi's B5 S4, it had undergone a name change to Nogaro Blue (nogaroblau; pearl effect UNI; Z5M; Audi), but the color itself remained the same.
Market Find: 2020 Audi exclusive Merlin Purple Q3
Will·
It's not often we see Audi exclusive paint applied to the more everyman-friendly priced models, so when it does happen, we're quick to take note. There's a lot to like here- for just $23,499, you can be one of what we assume to be incredibly few who can call a Tailored Q3 their own.
