Canadian Market Find: Volkswagen 2018 Golf R Spektrum in Dark Violet Pearl
Super fans of the Volkswagen Spektrum run of Golf Rs in 40 different semi-tailored colors can likely already tell you that Canada received its own run of Spektrum cars in the 2018 model year - one year before America took delivery of its own mix.
Market Find: 2018 Canadian Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum in Copper Orange
Did you know the U.S. wasn't the only market to get the limited run of specially painted Golf R Spektrum models? Canada got them too, which means even more examples of these rare cars can be found north of the border. Take for example this Copper Orange Metallic example that's been listed in Ontario.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Cliff Green Golf R
Will·
Perhaps one of the more striking of Volkswagen’s Spektrum colors, this Cliff Green Golf R is sure to stand out regardless of your surroundings. More McLaren than MQB, Cliff is quite similar to the Woking firm’s Mantis Green which could either be a very good or very not-good thing depending on your appetite for attention.
Market Find: 2019 Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum in Copper Orange Metallic
Though VW doesn't have a tailor of their own, most regular readers of this website should by now know of the Golf Spektrum run of cars. Back in 2019, VW built a large collection of Golf R models painted in micro batches of unobtainium colors. These cars command a premium and are highly sought after when they come up online.

What's the origin of '91 Blue? We don't really know, but it's not that we haven't tried to figure it out. We even reached out to a member of the product team at Volkswagen who made the cars happen. Here's what we got.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Sarantos Turquoise Golf R

Tailored Driver has covered the one-year-only Volkswagen Spektrum Golf R models in the past, but this one is a bit special. Sadly not present at last weekend's gathering of R's called "Wookies in the Woods" and held annually near Robbinsville, NC- where many Spektrums were present- this particular car has plenty of VW event history.
Market Find: 2019 VW Golf R Spektrum in Irish Green (Round 2)
We've said it before (literally) and we'll say it again. Irish Green is one of the best colors you could have gotten on Volkswagen's 2019 run of Golf R Spektrum cars painted very special colors. Yes, we've seen this car before. It transacted on Bring a Trailer late last year, and it looks like it ended up in the inventory of Wyomissing, PA dealer Bay 22.
Market Find: Ginster Yellow Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum
At this point we suspect our readers are familiar with the Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum series from 2019. In short, 40 different colors were chosen, built, and subsequently sold through the U.S. and Canada. Of those, Ginster Yellow was chosen to hark the 1997 Driver’s Edition GTI (Mk3).
Market Find: 2019 VW Golf R Spektrum in Irish Green
Beyond special or limited edition models, Volkswagen hasn't had its own in-house tailoring department. However, in 2019, then Golf product planner Megan Closset decided to take matters into her own hands. VW of America was never going to set up a program like Audi has with Audi exclusive, but by doing a very limited run of a large spectrum of colors she could effectively do the same thing. So, that run was made ergo "Spektrum", and those cars showed up at dealers with enthusiasts seeking them out like a Hot Wheels Treasuer Hunt.
